North-east monsoon season
mostly ingoing current, reef more likely to the left; as
here you aren’t entering the channel, but follow only
the outside; the best is, to stay just below the edge;
with strong current you have to paddle all the way, but
you’ll find a great fish life; don’t dive to deep, as
the edge never comes higher up than 10 m, otherwise you
get a decompression time; best diving is between 10 and
20 m
|
|
Safety:
with strong current either in or out avoid long safety
stops; in these cases it’s better to surface in a buddy
team |

Experience
Level:
difficult, especially with stronger current

|
Features: Lots of traces from
building wave breakers and over-water bungalows

|
Specialty:
sometimes there are big families of napoleons; many
morays on the reef slope

South-west monsoon season:
mostly outgoing current, reef more likely to the right;
stay just below the edge during the dive; sometimes
there is a strong current pulling you downwards, in this
case it is better to stay on the reef top; don’t dive to
deep, as the edge never comes higher up than 10 m,
otherwise you will get a decompression time; best diving
between 10 and 20 m; at many points you find overhangs
