StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Eastern Shallows is a gentle drift site, ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxing second dive. The reef here slopes gradually, covered in hard corals and anemones. We often spot clownfish protecting their homes and the occasional turtle gliding by. Visibility is generally good, making it a comfortable spot to simply cruise along and observe the reef life.
