Safety notes

Confirm which Taka reef sector will be used, maintain neutral buoyancy above live coral and stay close to the guide if visibility falls or current increases.

Dive tips

  • Follow the local guide’s site- and tide-specific briefing.
  • Agree a maximum depth within certification limits; the published site range is 5–25 m.
  • Maintain neutral buoyancy and avoid contact with coral, artificial structures and the seabed.
  • Confirm which Taka reef sector will be used, maintain neutral buoyancy above live coral and stay close to the guide if visibility falls or current increases.
  • Treat wildlife encounters as possible, never guaranteed, and give animals space.

Underwater photography

A flexible setup works best: use a macro lens for small subjects on sand, rubble and coral, or wide angle for the broader reef structure. Maintain stable trim, avoid stirring sediment and never move or touch wildlife for a photograph.
