Dimipac Island’s western end offers relaxed diving on a sandy slope where you may encounter turtles, leaf scorpionfish and there’s always the possibility of a dugong in the meadow of sea grass at the bottom of the sandy slope.

The diving off Dimipac Island is relaxed. The terrain slopes from about 5m gently down to the seagrass meadows at about 18m. The water is warm, clear and there’s very little current.
