Conditions at Bahthi Giri (Coral Garden)

Bahthi Giri (Coral Garden) is open to the sea from the NNE, E–ESE, SSW–SW, WNW–NW, so waves build there when the wind blows from those directions. Land shelters it from the NE–ENE.

Over the next 7 days it's good or better every day. Thu and Fri are only a trend so far.

When it's rough here, try Victory Wreck (11 km, sheltered from the NNE, E–ESE, SW).

The water is 29 °C at the surface and warm to about 32 m, so a rash guard or 1–2 mm suits most dives.

Shelter

Open water in each direction from the site.
