This dive site, Kilambing North, is a prominent part of the White Island dive area, known for its expansive hard coral garden stretching over several hundreds of meters. Navigation is generally simple, following the contours of this vibrant reef system, which serves as a thriving habitat for diverse marine life. There is no specific historical narrative associated with the site, but its natural beauty speaks for itself.
The site is teeming with reef creatures, making it excellent for observing macro life. Notably, green turtles and sea snakes are year-round residents, offering consistent encounters. In spring, divers can often spot elusive frogfish, while stingrays occasionally grace the sandy patches adjacent to the coral garden, adding to the site's rich biodiversity.
The best time to visit for specific sightings is during spring for frogfish, though turtles and sea snakes can be seen throughout the year. Its shallow average depth of 9 meters and maximum depth of 18 meters make it ideal for both scuba divers of all levels, and perfectly suited for snorkeling and freediving, offering ample time to explore the vibrant corals and marine life.
