North-east monsoon season
with incoming current, start round the corner, but not
to far off, because counter-current is possible; first
stay shallow, go deeper as you see large school of black
snappers, which indicates the entrance of channel; with
experienced divers have a look at the ribbon eels; than
follow the reef on your right, after the “nose”
counter-current is again possible up to the big potato
coral
|
|
Safety:
don’t follow the channel edge to far south from the
corner, as sometimes it’s not easy to swim back to the
mainreef |

Experience
Level:
not very difficult, if current is not too strong; also
nice making a dive in the upper part
|
|
Features:
grey reef sharks only found with ingoing current
|
|
Specialty:
black and blue ribbon eels which you’ll find on a little
terrace below the channel edge the corner, at a depth of
34 m
|
|
South-west monsoon season:
with outgoing current, try not to jump to far in the
channel, as in front on the “nose” you’ll have a current
against you; take reef to the left; whitetip reef sharks
often are sleeping on the sandy slope; if visiting the
ribbon eels, it is best to go afterwords straight up on
the corner, where you’ll find a nice big coral block
(6-8 m) with small lobsters and soldierfish; finish your
dive on the outer reef

Photography: macro lenses for the ribbon
eels recommended; be careful, they are very shy |
