About this site
Catalog

Gota Kebir (Gota Mokhtar) is the largest reef of St John's, an extensive system that breaks the surface and is riddled with tunnels, caves and coral pinnacles. Two plateaus at roughly 15 m and 30 m host schooling jacks and barracuda, with mantas occasionally cruising the southern point. Its sheltered tunnels make it a versatile site for divers of all levels.
