About this site
Angel's Window is a reef dive at the northern end of the Lembeh Strait in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is built around a twin-peaked coral pinnacle whose tops come within a metre of the surface.
On one side a coral slope levels out onto a sand flat at 15 metres. On the other a wall drops to a shelf at 8 metres, then falls away again to between 20 and 32 metres. At the deep end of the pinnacle there is a large cave you can swim through, and the site takes its name from it. Early in the morning, sunlight coming through the cave makes for good photography.
The gorgonian fans hold both Bargibant's and Pontohi pygmy seahorses. Xeno crabs, robust ghost pipefish and hairy shrimp turn up here too, and the site is full of small critters.
