Scuba Diving
@ Barra Lodge
There is a fully equipped dive centre with all necessary facilities including indoor training pool, kiting up room, filling station, rest areas, kit storage, lecture and first aid. Resident diving instructors offer professional tuition with Resort, Open Water 1 and Advanced courses on offer. Equipment can be hired.
There are a number of reefs, some close pinnacles and some further away. Dive depths vary from 8 metres to 30 metres offering a variety of diving experiences. This is an underwater fairy tale land, with deep gullies, coral caverns and awesome swim-throughs. Kingfish are commonly seen here as well as potato and brindle bass. Gamefish species like couta, kingies, wahoo, sailies and marlin abound and the reefs are also home to a huge variety of corals and monster coral dishes. Sharks, mantas, whale sharks and rays are also common and if you are really lucky you may catch a glimpse of the rare and endangered dugong.
