The Guardians consist of five pinnacles situated within the Nuarro Marine Reserve, forming part of the Nanatha Wall that curves around Nanatha Bay. These structures rise from depths of 40 metres to 15 metres below the surface, acting as a barrier against the open ocean. The topography features swim-throughs, crevices, and a sand fall that cascades from the inner reef down the upper reef slope. This site is suited for advanced divers due to strong currents and depths averaging 27 metres. Visibility typically ranges between 20 and 30 metres, with water temperatures between 25 and 28 degrees Celsius. Both shore and boat entries are available.
