During night dives you will see Basket Stars (Astoboa nuda), Harlequin Ghost Pipefish, baby Barracudas, reef fishes like the Purple Queen Anthias fish (Pseudanthias Tuka) or Moorish Idol (Zonchus conutus) or the regal Angelfish (Pyroplites diacanthus).
Whale Sharks are also appearing occasionally here. Watch the video below.
The only setback here is that the coral reef has been damaged by many boat mooring ropes.
