Papatura Pool
★★★★★
(70)
Shore dive to the sandy bottom area in front of Papatura. This site is five to eight meters deep. It is used as a training (pool like) site for new divers. Very protected, can be used all the time.
Large sandy flat area. Turtles can be seen eating the seagrass in the area. It is next to the memorial coral garden so lots of fish can be seen. Stingrays are often seen in the sand.
