Baung Penyu Bay / Turtle Neck / The Wall

★★★★☆ (1,767)

A combination of coral reef with sandy rubble that forms a long slope and meets the wall at the end of the dive. The wall rises from a depth of 25 meters to 3 meters below the surface. Usually the dive will end in the blue lagoon bay with soft coral formations at a depth of 5 meters.

Perfect habitat for sea floor predators such as cuttlefish, octopus, blue ribbon eel, moray eel, devil fish, and home to small types of animals such nudibranchs, shrimp, and crab.
