Belongas Coral Garden
A sheltered site inside Belongas Bay marked by a small rock at the surface: a rocky pinnacle and boulders on sand, full of cracks and covered in colourful soft corals, whips and gorgonians, to about 25 m. It is a relaxed macro dive for nudibranchs, shrimps and crabs, with clownfish, moray eels, scorpionfish and small barracuda schools.
