IntermediateLighthouse
Havelock’s house reef, and the island’s best night dive.
6–28metres
A long fringing reef running parallel to the shore, shallow enough to give you an hour of bottom time and close enough to dive after dark. By day it is an easy, sociable reef dive; by night the octopus, lobsters and hunting lionfish come out and it becomes a completely different site.
