DIVE SITES 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8
Dive n Trek: This is the house reef of Dive 'n' Trek resort and is very good for classroom lessons. There is no current in the area and a very abundant marine and coral life. This is also the home of giant clams. The fishes are accustomed to divers. It's great for snorkellers who must not wear fins to protect the diminishing live corals in the area. A school of jacks at 3m is almost a guarantee. Cuttlefish and squids are also common on the area.
Kirby's Rock: This rises out of the water. On its' shoreward side, it drops to 5m from where the reef slopes upwards to the shore. There is good coral cover and fish life, including soft and leathery corals. On the seaward side, the rock drops as a wall to 20m and then shelves slowly off to 33m - sand with coral patches. This wall is rich with soft corals, colourful crinoids, good size barrel sponges, white finger sponges, hydroids, sea stars, alabaster sea cucumbers, medium sized gorgonian sea fans, segmented worms and the like. Look closely and you may see numerous eels inhabiting the rock.
Koala: A good site for novice divers with a gradual slope from 9- 24m. Soft corals, stony corals, boulders and small reef fish can be found here. White tip reef sharks used to be seen in this area although it has been long gone. However, some of them have been spotted again. I also saw some black frogfish at around 19m.
