7. Monkey Beach
Depth 18m |
This site can be reached in less than ten minutes from the dive center. The reef starts in very shallow water and slopes down to a sandy bottom. The coral outcrops are covered with Christmas tree tubeworms, the plate corals are home to small tropical fish and soft corals. On an ebb tide you can drift along the reef while seeing feather stars, moray eels, turtles and fusiliers to name but a few species. This is a popular night dive when tubeworms can be spotted at their best. You can drift all the way to Sabang Point with minimal effort. Cross currents are common on a flood tide. |
