Another NEW dive site recently found near Guinjata Resort. Lego land is located just minutes away from our launching spot at the resort. This abundant reef can be found at 16m and drops to a further 24 m.
This dive site is very interesting and unique. The reef looks like a stack of Lego blocks with plenty Bigscale Soldiers, Rockcod and Schooling Coachman, aswell as Stingrays and Sea Turtles gliding in the currents.
We also found two very old anchors and are sure that there is allot more to discover on this awesome reef.

• Turtle Creek

Maximum depth 24m

Experience the amazing feeling when descending onto the reef between families of Green turtles, which do not even seem bothered by the divers presence. The depths range from 14m to 20 m and is situated only minutes away from Guinjata Resort. Here you can find huge schools of Barracuda, Giant King Fish and Rainbow Runners. Also commonly spotted is the Yellowbar Angelfish and Juvenile Emperor Angelfish and with the final ascent, groups of Bat Fish are there to greet you.

• Disneyland

Average depth 22m
Maximum depth 38m

A perfect dive spot for the adventure seeker! This new dive site has a ledge that on 20m and drops straight down to 45 m. On the way down, keep your eyes to the open waters to see if you can spot the huge schools of game fish prowling along. Schools of tropical fish can also been seen in the water. Named after the abundance of Marine life, one will feel like you are in the middle of Disneyland with so much to see. On the ledge you will be surrounded by scattered rock formations that look like tombstones. Caves and ledges can also be found near the bottom. There you may find Green Turtles seeking shelter in the caves. You can also be sure to spot Leopard Sharks, Giant Guitar Sharks, Big Honeycomb Moray Eels, Round Ribbon Tail Rays and Honeycomb Stingrays. This reef also consists of colorful Corals including a big Green Tree Coral with a resident Long Nose Hawk Fish, various colors of Whip Corals, Turret Coral and Sponges. Although it is not a very long reef, it will definitely stay in your memory as one of the greatest dives that you could ever do.
 
Hi John,

The new sites sound great, especially KKZEE!! I gotta get up there again sooner than later.

MY group of divers had the pleasure of finding Disney Land with Kobi in January. We had the co-ordinates and dropped in about 20 metres from the reef, did one turn on the sand and there it was:D The green tree corals are spectacular!
