Pipeline is a wonderful and unique dive site. The Pipelines are two large, desalination pipes that have not been used for over 30 years; on the left side is a short pipe, with a maximum depth of 12m, and on the right a longer pipe with a maximum depth of 22m. Untouched underwater, they have become home to a large number of different fish species, and covered in a huge variety of hard and soft corals. On the pipes there are always a large number of camouflaged Scorpion Fish, and when you are lucky, Frog Fish can also be found. The ends of the pipes are home to schools of Antheas and Fairy Basslets, whilst Bat Fish hide in the soft corals under the pipes. As the pipes also act as a large cleaning station, it is often possible to see large Jack Fish and Snappers being carefully cleaned by Shrimps and cleaner Wrasse. Octopuses are also often seen here, and when you look carefully into the sand, you can find Torpedo Rays resting. This dive has so many things to offer that we make one dive only to explore the pipes and their inhabitants.
