overview, location                                     

 

Depth:  6 -30 m


Fish Live: not much; napoleons and turtles possible, most fish found along the edge of the reef flat


Coral Growth: reef flat good, drop off poor


North-east monsoon season mostly current flows reef to the right; first you’ll find overhangs between 8 and 17 m; when caves finish, go up to about 10 to 8 m and stay there until you cross a field of staghorn acropora; after this you’ll find more overhangs and caves between 30 and 17 m. Finish your dive on the reef top; often you’ll find turtles there


Safety: not recommended, when you have big waves, as you feel constantly the wave

Experience Level: easy diving, also suitable for beginners, because there is seldom a strong current


Features: caves and overhangs


Specialty: sometimes “big” fish passing like hammerhead, manta ray, sail fish (not often though)


South-west monsoon season: mostly current runs reef to the left; first you’ll find caves and overhangs between 17 and 30 m; often in the overhangs there are moray eels; after the first row of overhangs finishes, go up to about 10 to 8 m to save bottom time; after an outstanding nose a second row of overhangs will start, they lay between 17 and 8 m


Photography: mostly macro lenses recommended, with clear water also wide-angle lenses could be possible
