overview, location                         

 

Depth:  5 - 30 m


Fish Live: along the edge are many fish schools to see, like the pyramid butterflyfish, oriental sweetlips, seargent fish; passing by you can find whitetips, napoleons and eagle rays


Coral Growth: in the upper part, nice coral growth


North-east monsoon season mostly reef to the right; be careful not to jump to close to the entrance of the Alimatha channel, because there the current might drag you into the channel; dive along the drop off and have a look at the overhangs between 25 – 30 m; along the wall you will find many moray eels and often turtles; sometimes whitetip reef sharks and eagle rays are passing; dive slowly, as the wall is not very long


Safety: the wall invites for a deep dive, watch your computer

Experience Level: easy diving


Features: because it is an outer reef frequently; there are passing “big” fish


Speciality: between 25 – 30 m there are small overhangs with whip wire corals and in one overhang, there is a nice arch to swim through


South-west monsoon season: mostly reef to the left; if there is outgoing current in the Alimatha Dekunu kandu, it is also an idee to jump just in front of the corner in the channel, so you could directly descend and have a look at the ribbon eels on the terrace at the depth of 34 m; continue your dive on the outer reef, whitetip reef sharks, napoleons, eagle rays can be seen; along the edge you find many schools of different fish


Photography: with clear water it’s nice to take pictures from the fish schools with the wide-angle lenses, otherwise macro lenses
