Best for intermediate divers, 15-35m, boat entry, moderate current.
Living Colours offers a diverse underwater landscape featuring a combination of reef, wall, and pinnacle formations. Designed for intermediate divers, the site spans depths of 15 to 35 metres with an average of 25 metres. Access is strictly by boat, and divers should be prepared for moderate currents that can shift rapidly. Visibility typically ranges between 10 and 30 metres. Due to the presence of sharp coral and rock edges, precise buoyancy control is essential. Divers are advised to monitor their position relative to the wall and pinnacles, as currents can strengthen quickly. A reef hook is recommended for those wishing to pause and observe the terrain.
