Dive-site story
Grand Makadi reef sits along the northern edge of Makadi Bay, accessible directly via a long wooden jetty that spans the shallow reef flat. The reef wall steps down over coral gardens and sandy patches into deeper slopes populated by hard coral formations and soft coral outcroppings. Calm conditions and easy navigation along the reef crest make it a staple for check dives, night excursions, and relaxed drift explorations.
Convenient shore access across the fringing reef flat using the resort jetty
Expansive table corals and hard coral formations along the reef drop-off
Reliable night diving with active nocturnal predators and invertebrates
