One-way shore dive: in at the Golden Blocks entry, out along the drop-off past the golden coral towers and back in over the house reef in front of Happy Life Village, exiting by the hotel jetty. OSM and the Happy Life dive centre put the house reef south-west of the Golden Blocks entry, so the path is drawn that way (assumption). Positions are approximate. The exit point is the jetty from OpenStreetMap.

A traverse rather than a site: in at the Golden Blocks, out at the house reef of the Happy Life Village, swimming south-west along the drop-off between the two. Logged as one dive on 10 August 2008, 30.4 m for 53 minutes — the depth coming from the wall side of the route rather than from the towers, which sit at about 18 m.
