Dive-site story
Located in the channel between Gam and Yanggefo islands, Citrus Ridge gets its name from dense blankets of soft corals in shades of yellow, lime, and orange. The submerged ridge slopes gently on both sides, funneling nutrient-rich tidal flows that fuel dense fields of seafans and feeding reef fish. Divers drift along the crest before settling in the lee of the ridge when currents pick up.
Extensive gardens of citrus-hued soft corals and leather corals blanketed across the ridge crest
Frequent sightings of tasseled wobbegong sharks resting beneath table corals
Dense schools of yellowtail fusiliers and sweetlips hovering in the current breaks
Location
