Foggy Shark Cave - Sydney & New South Wales
Kura-Kura Bay, just west of Gili Lawang, offers a relaxed dive along a sloping reef. We typically drop down to around 18 metres, cruising over fields of hard coral. It's a gentle drift, often with turtles just cruising by – not a guarantee, but we've seen plenty of them here. Look closely among the coral heads for Yellow-fin flasher-wrasse, darting about, and you'll spot Barred Unicornfish munching on algae. Visibility usually holds around 18 metres, making it a good spot for newer divers or those who just want a chill afternoon exploring the reef without fighting strong currents.
