Dive-site story
Situated right off the beach at Playa Kalki in Westpunt, this site gets its name from towering, mushroom-shaped star coral formations that resemble an enchanted forest. Divers follow a sandy channel down across a double-reef system separated by a wide sand chute. The calm conditions in the bay make shore navigation straightforward, allowing divers to explore coral spurs along the outer reef slope before returning across the shallow plateau.
