    D.C. Point, right in front of the dive center, starts with a gentle slope before hitting a proper reef after about ten minutes. It’s a good spot to settle in, maxing out at 14 metres, with visibility often hitting 26 metres. We’ve had pleasant dives here, usually spotting a good mix of smaller critters – damsel fish darting around, fire gobies, and a few different nudibranchs if you slow down and look for them. We also regularly see crinoid shrimp and the always-entertaining peacock mantis shrimp. Keep an eye out for hawksbill turtles cruising by, and if you're lucky, maybe a blacktip reef shark or an eagle ray passing through. It’s a comfortable, relaxed dive for any skill level.
