Pos 2
At the south-east point of Menjangan an extended sloping wall starts around 12 m and continues past 40 m. Between 20 and 25 m gorgonian fans are abundant, along with sponges and soft corals that hide nudibranchs, pygmy seahorses and orangutan crabs. Triggerfish, fusiliers and trevally are common and reef sharks and turtles pass by; towards the eastern point cooler upwellings occasionally bring bigger visitors.
