Travel Time: 15 - 20 mins Level: Open Water Depth: 10 - 18m As the name suggests, a long canyon runs along a ridge that starts at 10m down to about 16m. Large boulders that have broken away from the ridge lay along the sand. The canyon walls are covered in soft corals, sponges and hydroids and are home to Goldies, dominoes, and a myriad of reef fish. Lobsters, shrimps and crabs hide in the many cracks and crannies. Stingrays and the occasional guitar shark rest along the bottom of the canyon or between the large boulders. Nudibranchs, leaf fish and many other special creatures have been spotted here. Unquestionably our regular diver’s favourite spot! Have a look at some photos of Canyons in our Gallery. Travel Time: 10 mins Level: Open Water Depth: 15 - 18m Shallow gullies and overhangs that are covered in soft corals and sponges. Lionfish and Scorpionfish often spotted by the trained eye. Rays are often spotted on the sand just off this lovely reef. Travel Time: 10 - 15 mins Level: Advanced Depth: 28 - 32m A sandy fault line lying in deep water at approximately 32m. Along the shallower ledge white whip corals sway in the current like a small forest. Keep an eye out for sharks! Have a look at some photos of Faulty Ridge in our Gallery. Travel Time: 10 -15 mins Level: Advanced Depth: 18 - 24m Patches of reef that form a honeycomb pattern covered in a variety of oddly shaped sponges gives this strange little reef its name. Plenty of small critters can be found, and the race to find a sharks tooth in the small sandy patches can keep divers well entertained. Keep one eye out above, as one never knows what might cruise overhead! Have a look at some photos of Sponge Bob in our Gallery. Travel Time: 5 mins Level: Open Water - Beginner Courses Depth: 5 - 12m A shallow sandy area with patches of reef makes this a perfect spot for courses. Students can sit comfortably in the sand and do skills without fear of damaging the reef. Lionfish, scorpionfish, lobsters, and morays make for an interesting beginners experience. Often flatheads and rays are spotted hidden in the sand. Due to the shallow depth, this dive can only be done on calm days with little swell. Travel Time: 5 mins Level: Advanced Depth: 15 - 20m Made up of a network of reefs with small gullies and cracks which hide lobsters, shrimps and crabs. Sand surrounds this network, and is home to stingrays, flatheads and flounders. Nudibranchs, morays and many other interesting reef life can be seen on this dive site. Travel Time: 5 mins Level: Advanced Depth: 16 - 26m An old Mozambique fishing trawler that was sunk in 1990 by the Oceanographic Research Institute (ORI) to form an artificial reef. Large shoals of baitfish swim around the wreck and attract pelagic fish, so keep an eye out in the blue water. Crayfish, shrimps and crabs hide in all the crevices, as do moray eels. Leaf fish and the more elusive and rare pineapple fish have also been spotted. A resident Brindle Bass can also be seen. Generally visibility on this dive is poor, but with the amount of fish on the wreck, it’s a stunning dive. Have a look at some photos of The Fontao in our Gallery. Travel Time: 10 - 15 mins Level: Advanced Depth: 20 - 27m A barge that was sunk by ORI to create an artificial reef. The crane structures attract many fish including coachman and batfish. On the sand, flatheads and rays can be spotted buried in the sand. Keep an eye out in the blue water, as game fish often cruise past. Travel Time: Won’t be gone all day Level: Probably Advanced with some experience is best Depth: Have no idea - let’s find out together! It’s always fun to be part of the group that has discovered a new reef. Although going on a recce dive is not always exciting as it may take longer to find the drop point, maybe we drop on sand, and maybe the reef is rubbish - just sand, no coral, or a complete miss in all aspects. Yet sometimes we hit the jackpot! We are always adventuring out to find new dive sites, explore a part of a known reef which we never venture to or just looking to dive someplace new! Let your adventurous soul out, and join us. Maybe you have a few ideas, or have heard of some rumours of a great unknown or forgotten dive site. Who knows - if it’s great (or not) we may name it after you! Travel Time: 10 - 15 mins Level: Advanced Depth: 30m (fathomless bottom below!) Ever heard of a blue water dive? We go straight out to sea till we find clean blue water. Drop a buoy with a line down to 30m. And there we wait. For what? Whatever comes out the blue to investigate us!
