Meno Wall goes down to 18m. It offers a lot of small coral fish. It is also called “Turtle Heaven” because of the many resident hawksbill and green turtles.
Air Wall is a beautiful soft coral wall that shines yellow-orange. Highlight is a coral block at 22m in which leaf fishes found their home, surrounded by shrimps, pipefish and thousands of glass fishes.
Coral Fan Garden & Basket Coral Garden gives you the feeling of being in an aquarium: schools of colored fishes.
Frogfish Point, a huge coral block from 5m - 18m welcomes you. There are a lot of sandy areas, where the garden eels let off steam and corals are overgrown with anemones and their clownfish.
Manta Point In the rainy season, this dive site gives you the best chance to see Manta rays. But even without mantas, you still have a good chance to see reef sharks and turtles.
Malang Reef Underwater canyons create the landscape here with a plateau starting at 10m and dropping down to 40m. Here you can see ‘everything’.
