Frequently Serviced Dive Sites
★★★★☆ Tom’s Garden
A must do for macro enthusiasts, this site has a depth of 7 metres but can be extended if one wants to rear off the beaten track into the sand dunes. This dive site was named after one of our Instructor’s who stumbled upon this seahorse heaven by chance.
★★★★★ Pyramid
The dive starts around some coral bommies and small rock formations and slowly ascends to a shallow bank reef after passing the distinct formation of a pyramid.
★★★★☆ Mikadini
Mikadini is a gently sloping fringing reef that cascades down to 25 metres with many brightly colored corals. Mikadini often has a nice current, making for a very exciting drift dive.
★★★★★ Jina Wall
Lying at the northern tip of Jina Island, ranging in depth from 8 to 26 metres is Jina Wall. At the base of a small, vertical wall that has shallow caverns and overhangs, this site bottoms out in a gravel field.
★★★★☆ Marimbani
Marimbani is a sandbank located in Chole Bay. Off the Northern face of the sandbar, there is a muck diving site featuring some very peculiar creatures. The maximum depth is around 7 meters. This is an excellent dive to combine with a BBQ picnic.
★★★★★ Milimani North
The site starts with some beautiful bommies randomly placed across the white, sandy bottom. The reef itself starts with plenty of hard corals around 5 meters and slowly continues to around 17 meters.
★★★★☆ Nudibranch City
Nudibranch City is named for its inundation of several different types of nudibranchs. The reef is a 300-metre swim off Utende Beach and lies around 9 metres deep. Here there is an abundance of soft corals and fantastic anemones.
★★★★☆ Small Rock
This site has a maximum depth of 16 metres and a minimum of around 3. Small rock is best dived in the early morning, when the dawn light illuminates the sites’s pinnacles and coral structures, giving the whole area a golden glow.
