About this site
Catalog

Gota Soraya is a central St John's reef that breaks the surface, slightly deeper than its neighbour Gota Kebir, with dramatic walls dropping into the blue. The current-exposed corners gather barracuda, jacks and grey reef sharks, while the reef itself is dressed in healthy hard and soft corals. It is best dived as a drift along the steep outer walls.
