About this site
Catarman – Coral Garden is a reef slope dive site situated within a marine sanctuary, featuring a coral garden of colourful soft corals and healthy hard coral formations, with depths ranging from 6 to 20 metres. The site suits divers from beginner level upward.
The reef holds a good variety of species well suited to patient, observant divers: barracuda, frogfish, scorpionfish, stonefish, pufferfish, and garden eels are regularly encountered. Turtles appear occasionally, and mantas and whale sharks visit in season.
