Dive-site story
Set in sheltered Sámara Bay, this site features an active coral restoration nursery run by local conservation initiatives. Divers navigate among artificial structures, nursery trees, and metal frames supporting micro-fragments of branching coral grown for outplanting onto degraded reef sections. The calm, shallow water offers an educational look at reef rehabilitation while harboring schools of juvenile reef fish and small invertebrates.
