About this site
Catalog

Big Gota is a large surface-breaking reef in the central St John's complex, scattered with coral blocks, sandy lagoons and shallow caverns that make it ideal for relaxed multi-dive days and night dives. The gentle topography shelters reef fish, moray eels, lionfish and abundant invertebrate life. Its protected lagoon offers easy conditions for less experienced divers.
