With parking, equipment rental, air fills, and a dive shop all available on site, you can turn up with minimal kit and still get in the water. Check the current before entering, as variable drift conditions can make this feel quite different from one dive to the next, even at the shallower end of the reef.
Located on the Folacca beach south of Palombaggia.
