Swimming above it at high tide, enjoy the brilliant visual of the reef below.The top of the Kurumba House Reef is approx. 1-2 meters deep and slopes down from there to 10 – 30m (80m on the south side) from the edge. The Kurumba Wall slopes down to 20 – 40 meters where the sandy bottom begins. Progressing a little at a time you will discover the wonders of the house reef: millions of years of coral growth forming an island that teems with life both above and below the waters.

Life in the House Reef

Sea creatures abound in the Kurumba Reef – ancient Hawksbill Turtles, shy Sharks, sought after Bluefin Tuna -
busily maintaining underwater ecology.Reef guides in print are available at the souvenir shop and there are fish
posters outside the shop and in the diving school. The staff in the diving school will be happy to answer your questions about the underwater environment.
