Why dive here
Maria's Heart is a reef dive where divers can encounter mantis shrimp. Water ranges 29-32°C, warmest April, May, June.
Maria's Heart, off Sumatra, gives you a good look at some healthy hard coral formations, with a few surprising heart-shaped sponges scattered amongst them. We’ve seen a decent number of dragonets here, particularly the common variety, along with filament-fin wrasse darting between the coral heads. There's a bit of silt around, so manage your buoyancy well to keep things clear. It’s a pleasant spot for a relaxed dive, suitable for divers who appreciate the quieter details rather than big pelagic action.
