Boat dive · Seamount
An open-ocean seamount beside Mona Island visited by large numbers of sharks. Only diveable when sea conditions allow.
About this site
Little Monita is the smaller island neighbouring Mona, and Hobbit House is its standout dive — an open-ocean seamount that attracts large numbers of sharks. Because it sits in exposed water, it can only be dived when sea conditions allow, which makes it a genuinely special, weather-dependent treat for experienced divers.
