★★★★☆
(255)
Asho’s Gap in Coral Bay is a vibrant dive site named after a legendary local skipper. Warm waters and dense fish life—parrotfish, trevallies, and more—greet you immediately. A major highlight is its bustling shark cleaning station, making it a favorite among divers.
Grey reef sharks visit to clean their teeth and shed parasites, while stingrays, eagle rays, wobbegongs, nurse sharks, and turtles are also frequent visitors to the site.
