What you'll see
Red Pillar is built around tall coral pillars rising from the seabed, draped in life — clouds of fusiliers and sergeant majors, angelfish picking at the coral, the flash of a passing triggerfish. Peer into the crevices for moray eels and cleaner shrimp, and into the blue for a cruising turtle. In 10–14m of clear, warm water (27–30°C, 15–25m visibility), it's the most colourful shallow site we dive.
Who it's for
A slightly fuller first dive at the same accessible price point — a few extra minutes over the pillars without paying for our longer training packages.
How it works
Arrive & meet
Pickup within 5km of the jetty, then an easy-going welcome from your instructor.
Safety brief
The same simple briefing as our Taster dive here — nothing extra to learn.
Gear up
Gear fitted and double-checked before you enter the water.
Your dive
30 minutes around the pillars — long enough to spot moray eels and reef shrimp tucked into the coral, if you know where to look.
Photos & video
3 HD photos and 3 minutes of GoPro footage included.
