An Underwater Paradise! - Diving at Elphinstone Reef was like stepping into another world. The sheer walls covered in soft corals and gorgonians were breathtaking, and the abundance of marine life was incredible. I saw schools of barracuda, trevally, and even a hammerhead shark in the distance. The drift dive along the reef was exhilarating, and the dive guides were highly professional, ensuring our safety throughout the experience. This is a dive site that every serious diver should add to their bucket list

Thrilling and Beautiful Dive - This dive was both thrilling and beautiful The vertical reef walls are covered in soft corals and the marine life is spectacular. We spotted a hammerhead shark and a school of tuna The currents can be strong but they make the drift dive even more exciting A big thanks to the crew for making this such a memorable experience
