About This Site

Lighthouse Bay is a dive site with an average depth of around 14 meters and which begins at 5 meters deep. The shallow depth makes it a great choice for snorkelers as wells.Lighthouse Bay has a shallow coral garden and a pinnacle which can go up to 30 meters deep and which teems with marine life.The visibility here is usually pretty good and it goes beyond 10 meters. Lighthouse Bay is also a sheltered dive spot, and therefore it is perfect for beginner divers.At the same time, macro enthusiasts and underwater photographers will find here plenty of critters and marine life to enjoy, such as groupers, wrasse, turtles, bannerfish, nudibranchs, and sometimes even blacktip reef sharks.The name of the dive site comes from the lighthouse which sits at the top of the bay cliffs.Dive site info provided byCynthia Leenson мар. 25, 2019
