    Right off the Lankayan jetty, this site offers a surprisingly relaxed dive, especially for those who appreciate the smaller details. We’ve found it’s a great spot for macro photography, with plenty of nooks in the seagrass beds and among the various staghorn and branch corals for pipefish or nudibranchs to hide. Visibility can vary, but even on a slightly murkier day, we’ve still enjoyed watching schools of fusiliers darting around the jetty pillars. It’s a gentle introduction to Lankayan's waters, perfect for a check-out dive or a leisurely afternoon exploration without strong currents.
