Site details

Alice in Wonderland is a renowned south-coast double-reef dive, with a first reef from about 7m sloping to 22m and a second reef beyond a sand patch at 24-30m. The reefs are rich in sponges and corals with horse-eye jacks, triggerfish, barracuda and occasional eagle rays. Its double structure and abundant life make it one of the island's signature reef dives.
