The best season to go diving through the Banana Reef is between the months from December to May, while the ideal months are from late May to July. The water temperatures are said to average from 26 – 27 Celsius. The reef derives its name as it quite literally takes the shape of a banana, and is ideal for beginners and professional divers.
Divers are to keep in mind that the ocean world is extremely delicate and any damage or destruction of its surrounding or to any of the species is strictly prohibited as this is a protected area.
The top of the reef is quite shallow and is ideal for those who wish to snorkel. So if you’re not quite sure about diving, spend some time exploring Banana reef by snorkelling!
