Matlang Island

Dive Location:  Off Chaweng Beach’s northern apex.
Depth: Average 8m / Maximum 9m

The reef-flat is built up mainly of table staghorns, interspersed with gardens of sea anemones. The waters above these structures provide some enjoyable snorkelling.

The dive continues along a shallow, sloping reef consisting mainly of elkhorn, vase and foliaceous corals. Small rocks play both anchor and host to numerous gorgonian sea fans and whips. The marine life is sporadic but, at the eastern point of the reef, you can occasionally see black-tip reef sharks passing by.
