Mikes Cupboard is a busy reef with an average depth of 15 metres (49 feet). There is a lot to see for Open Water divers with interesting caves, overhangs, swim throughs and stacked boulders where all kinds of marine life hide out or pass through. 

This site is famously a fantastic shallow site with a wide variety of macro life that is great for those who like to test their spotting ability. The site is made up of three main potholes. The first two are known as “the lungs”, due to their unique shape and the vast amount of soft coral found inside while the third and largest pothole hosts a variety of life.

Mike’s Cupboard is a series of bowls linked together with caves, overhangs and gullies.All the normal array of tropical fishes can be seen, as well as large numbers of flute and trumpet fish. Other interesting species in this area are the greyspot guitar fish, kuhl's rays, crocodile fish, leaf fish and frog fish, all of which can be spotted by eagle-eyed divers.

A perfect dive site for those just starting out, photographers wanting time to take their perfect nudibranch shot, or those just wanting a long slow and relaxing dive with lots to see.

Trumpetfish, scorpionfish, leaf fish, lionfish, peacock mantis shrimps, white tip reef sharks and, occasionally, mantas make up just a fraction of what can be found on this beautiful reef.

Always a relaxing dive which you can drift around and admire all the busy reef life that is so abundant here.

✅ This is a Peri-Peri rated “LEMON & HERB” dive site and is the fourth dive of the Open Water course.
