Dabaisha

Dabaisha takes its name from the pale crescent of coral rubble above the waterline, and the dive begins the moment the steps end: a clean slope of mixed corals cut by sand channels, patrolled by green turtles with the unbothered air the island's protection has bred into them. The southwestern corner catches passing current, which sharpens the fish life, morays in the crevices, lionfish hanging off the ledges, snapper drifting the channel edges, and gives the site a wilder feel than the busier zones. When the monsoon blows out the north coast, Dabaisha is often the island's working answer.

您此行的高光时刻: Turtle traffic on a clean slope, livelier current-fed corner, monsoon-season fallback

地形地貌: Coral slope off a white coral-rubble beach, sand channels between gardens

水流: The corner position invites flow; guides check it before committing the group.

入水方式: Steps off the boardwalk at the island's southwestern corner; watch the current wrapping the point on spring tides.

危险因素: Current around the point and surge over the rubble shelf in swell.
