About La Perouse Reef

A reef dive. It goes down to 27 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it.

The sea is about 7°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 14°C in August, its warmest (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit). For experienced divers the best month is usually July, with about 7 good days in 7; in January and December, about 1. From the weather of past years. No town nearby. No bookable town within 60 km: the nearest, Lax Kw Alaams, is 188 km away. Nearest airport: ZMT (ZMT), 69 km.
