23. Pangulingan
No explanation of the given name. Between Negeri and Pangulingan is a strange shaped reef. There are quite a few spectacular spots on it, but also with some spectacular currents and that's why we don't like to dive this site with beginners.
The dive starts on a fascinating deep wall just adjacent to a stadium sized gently sloping coral plateau. After the wall, and perhaps a shark or two, you hit onto the densely populated slope at around 20 m depth and continue slowly up to the shallows along the sloping reef. Near the edge of the slope you often find larger fish like barracudas, jacks, trevallies and big pelagic tunas. In the shallows often schools batfish or hundreds of smaller reef fish. Wonderful reef top with lots of little stuff and both hard and soft coral plentiful enough to provide you with a rainbow colour setting for your safety stop at the end of your dive here. Challenge yourself with this dive - the "reward" is usually worth it!
