Details

Coral Garden was almost straight out from the resort. We just had to walk in front of the resort next door and down onto the beach. We walked in from the beach. This was pretty much a muck dive on the volcanic sand. There were lots of outcrops of corals and other structures and there was life everywhere. This was a great dive and an easy one, too, although the current was quite strong at times.
