Mangrove

Mangrove is a coastal dive site characterized by shallow, sheltered waters among mangrove channels. Access is straightforward from nearby towns, with calm conditions typical of lagoons and inshore reefs. The site generally features soft-bottom habitats near mangrove edges, providing habitat for small reef fish, crabs and prawns. Divers may encounter seagrass beds and occasional juvenile species using the sheltered environment as a nursery area. The entry is usually from a calm shoreline or small boat, with gentle descents and a short profile. Conditions are suitable for beginners and for skills practice, with local centers offering guided dives and refreshers.
