About this site
Captain Point is a versatile reef dive at Pulau Aur that works across conditions and skill levels. It is a useful fallback when Rayners Rock is too exposed.
On slack tide it is calm enough for Open Water certification dives. When conditions pick up, it delivers more current and more marine life, and it still produces good sightings of trevally, snappers and the occasional reef shark.
