About Siyul South
A reef dive. It goes down to 25 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces E: swell from the E reaches it, and wind from the W blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 13 km away. The sea is about 24°C in January, its coldest month (5 mm wetsuit), and 31°C in August, its warmest (rash vest or 1 to 2 mm). The town to stay in is Hamata. Within 5 km we also list 5 dive sites.
