Sea Star House Reef
A reef reached straight from the dive centre's own dock
The house reef of the Sea Star dive centre at Molunat, lying directly in front of the centre. It is a shallow shore dive that never goes past 12 m, and it serves divers of every level, from a first Try Dive to navigation and night training.
Also known as Sea Star house reef.

The dive
Divers walk in from the land or step off the centre's dock straight onto the reef. The bottom drops off to 12 m. That shallow profile carries Try Dives and Open Water course dives, and the reef is also used for more complex work such as navigation exercises and night dives.
