A lot of reviews on diving at this place in dive journals and over the internet describe Magic Passage (drift dive) and Planet Rock (pinnacle dive) as spectacular. At Magic Rock, one can see large schools of sweetlips, barracudas, trevallies, white tip reef sharks, huge sea fans and colourful soft corals. Planet Rock is a schooling place for hammerhead sharks. The coral pinnacle rises from very deep to about 10 m below surface. The changing currents attract huge predators and divers alike. Dive enthusiasts must definitely dive here as it is located in the Coral Triangle. For those of you who are not aware of the Coral Triangle, it is the epicentre of marine species diversity and is one of the top priorities for marine conservation.
