Kata House Reef |
Dive Location: Western end of Kata Beach.
Depth: Average 5m / Maximum 12m
Entry to the site off the beach brings you to the fringing reef, at a depth of 5m. As you follow it around the headland the depth gradually increases to 12m. This is a training and introduction site similar to meridian reef, but shallower and slightly more enjoyable. Barracuda, tuna, and trevally are often present.
The reef just breaks the surface in low water. Blue-spotted ribbontail rays and white-tip reef sharks are sometimes seen. Reef-fish are present but tend to be scattered over the area rather than dominating particular areas. The site is accessible during inclement weather conditions and suitable for night-diving enthusiasts.
