Salt spray, a chorus of engines and the pale blue horizon set the scene before the first descent. Divers step off the small dive boat into water so clear the reef below seems a handspan away; the current teases you forward as colorful parrotfish and butterflyfish thread through coral plates.

Operators and local NGOs emphasize no-touch diving and reef-safe sunscreens; sticking to established moorings minimizes anchor damage.
