A great multi-level dive; Dungon Wall is home to many species of Moray Eels and Nudibranchs. The twin hulls of an old wooden catamaran can be found lying at the bottom of the wall in 27m of water. The wall rises up to 12m where it levels off and the seabed gently slopes up to the shallow waters of Dungon Bay.

The hard corals in Dungon Bay are particularly exposed to rough weather during typhoon season and the bad storms in 2006 destroyed most of the Tabletops and coral heads that were growing there at that time. The storm worked in a similar way to burning a field of old crops however and many new corals are growing in the bay already. There are scores of table top corals, Elkhorn and Staghorn corals too, each about 18” across already.

It is surprising just how resilient our local coral reefs appear to be. Popular opinion suggests that the reasons for this are the large tidal changes and regular movement of the water here. Swirling eddies in the current bring all the goodness that the corals need to flourish.
