Dive-site story
Situated directly in front of the dive operation on the eastern coast of Atauro Island, this house reef features a gently sloping sandy flat that transitions into a healthy coral wall. It offers easy entries and serves as an ideal training ground as well as an productive muck and macro night dive. Massive table corals, sea fans, and soft coral gardens provide refuge for a wide variety of critters and passing pelagic life.
Vibrant coral slope transitioning into an outer drop-off
Excellent critter spotting including ribbon eels and diverse nudibranchs
Convenient access for night diving right off the beach
