Mid Reef

Submerged reef east of Manukan with hard corals, sponges and anemones at about 20 m; seahorses and nudibranchs are listed among the usual reef life (one guide describes a wreck on the bottom, another lists only a submerged reef: unconfirmed). Exact dive-site GPS is not published; the position is an estimate placed on the water next to the island, for orientation only.
