Drummers Reef

shallow-dive-site

This is a shallow diving site, suitable for beginners or a second dive of the day. The buoy line is tied off at the edge of a shallow sandy channel at a depth of 9-11 metres.

A careful look around the sandy channel (dotted with coral heads) will reveal blue-spotted rays, moses sole, false stonefish, crocodile fish and the occasional larger ray.

The seaward side of the sandy channel drops down over a series of overhangs to a sandy bottom at 26-28 metres. Here it is possible to see lion fish, morays, scorpion fish, leaf fish, turtles, napoleon wrasse and occasionally dolphins, mantas or other pelagic rays.

The landward side of the sandy channel is surrounded by a profusion of eye-catching hard corals such as stag horn coral, boulder corals, table corals etc. Here you are also likely to encounter turtles and maybe a passing barracuda.
