Dive Site Location & Key Facts
Everything you need to know about this dive site.
Dive Site Overview
What distinguishes Pro Master - House Reef is its dual appeal: a thriving shallow reef alongside a submerged wooden boat wreck. Combining these elements creates a versatile underwater environment directly off the shore.
Divers begin exploring from an easy beach entry, immediately encountering a lively scene of developing corals spread across the sandy bottom. These 'baby corals' hint at the reef's ongoing growth, supporting a variety of smaller marine life. An old wooden boat wreck serves as a primary draw, resting at approximately 19 meters / 62 feet just in front of the dive center.
It acts as a natural magnet for fish, offering an engaging, structured feature for skill practice. The wreck is particularly valuable for divers undergoing training, providing a secure and interesting setting for check dives or advanced wreck diver certifications.
Its accessibility and manageable depth make it suitable for both novice and more experienced divers seeking either instruction or a relaxed exploration without the need for boat travel. This blend of natural reef and artificial structure delivers a comprehensive diving experience close to shore.
