Dive-site story
Rising out of the open water off the northwest coast of Pulau Weh, this submerged granite pinnacle plunges into deep trenches. Terraced boulder fields and steep walls shelter dense forests of gorgonian sea fans. The exposed location funnels nutrient-rich currents past the rock, drawing constant pelagic activity and remarkable concentrations of resident predators.
Extraordinary diversity and density of moray eels occupying cracks across the rocky slopes
Dense walls of gorgonian sea fans on deeper shelves
Frequent encounters with patrolling reef sharks and hunting pelagic schools
