Eneko Island Lagoon

Calm lagoon coral gardens within 15 m of the surface

Eneko Island Lagoon is a shallow lagoon dive on a small atoll off Majuro. Coral gardens and a wide mix of reef fish sit in clear, sheltered water, so it works for new divers and snorkellers as well as for photographers wanting calm conditions.

Also known as Eneko Island.
