TANGKAD DALAM (Deep Reef)

Only discovered in early 1996, the steep sides of this reef rise up from the sea floor at around 38 metres to a plateau-like reef top at 12 metres. Normally dived as a multi-level or computer dive for the more experienced, this reef has an amazing assortment of corals and invertebrates, including table corals, giant leather corals, sponges, and nudibranchs, to name just a few. Also to be found on its western side is a large number of red "flaming scallops" whose "silver lining" flashes continuously. Eagle rays have often been sighted around this reef as well as schools of fusiliers, jacks, and silversides.

Best Depths: 12 to 38 metres.
Visibility: 10 to 20 metres, average 15 metres.
Travel Time From Shore: 5 to 10 minutes.
