Overheat Reef

★★★★☆ (1,781)

In west Sandy Bay this alltime favorite dive site harbors everything: A sandy patch at 25 feet for beginners, courses and macro life and a wall down to 100 feet. The perfect site for drift dives, navigation dives and night dives.

So much macro to be found on and in between rocks, nudi’s, sea hares, check for the smallest critters. Lots of crabs, conch and lobster around.
