Anthias

Rising dramatically from the depths of 150 meters to kiss the surface, these twin pinnacles offer one of the most exhilarating dives in the Philippines. Only their coral-encrusted tips break the surface, hinting at the explosion of marine life that thrives below. What makes this site truly unforgettable is its crystal-clear visibility and the exhilarating drift when the currents pick up — and they can get powerful! On the southern side, you’ll descend along a breathtaking vertical wall that drops deep, while a plateau at around 10 meters features intricate ridges and fascinating rock formations. This is a dive where anything can appear. Cast your eyes into the blue for schooling tuna, jackfish, and the occasional cruising ray. Along the wall, you’ll be surrounded by clouds of orange anthias and butterflyfish, with every crevice home to critters like blennies, lionfish, pufferfish, moray eels, nudibranchs, and so much more. It's an underwater spectacle that never disappoints.

This Pinnacle started a top of 26m and walls that can go up to 45m deep. Excellent for passing pelagic species and for anthias with some benthic species present.

The Dome is a half cave, about 50m in diameter and 50m deep. The ceiling is covered with bright sponges and soft corals. If you dive the outside edge, red gorgonians start growing at 30 meters. Probably the best dive site in Kornati National Park.

For experienced adventurers, the current-swept reefs of this site form a triangle abundant in large fish, sea fans, and corals. Its unique geography makes it accessible all year round but can be challenging due to the strong currents, down currents, upwellings, and depth.

Siyle Island as it calls Maledive Island Or white Sand Or Hamata Island. In a protection area so easy to reach it in even bad weather condition and still a possibility to get over the island and enjoy walking on. Good Reef and good corals and nice wall by average depth of 24 meters.

El Fanadir is a reef stretching for 3 kilometers and is around 4 kilometers away from shore and has to be done by boat. The reef has a wall on the north East sides, full of corals and fish. There is a sand bottom between the wall and the drop off where you will find patches of corals. The drop off is paralel to the wall and starts at 18 meters going to 30+. Also there is a shallow sandy lagoon on the south east side of the reef, perfect for beginners.

The entry to the Caves is a giant stride off the ledge and into the deep blue. The Caves can only be dived in calm conditions as jumping off the ledge can be quite tricky when there are waves crashing on the shore. Once in the water the cave is directly below you and on both the left and right side you will find a shallow reef. The reef that circles the cave is just as attractive as the cave itself with both soft and hard corals being abundant. Here you will often spot large groupers, scorpionfish and morays and a tiger shark has been spotted on a number of occasions. Enter the cave and swim to the back then turn and watch the light shine through the swarms of anthias and bannerfish swimming upside down on the ceiling of the cave, a perfect spot for your safety stop!

Entrance from the shore is easy in most weather, it starts off as stone and after a short distance moves onto a sandy slope. Descend and you will instantly find The Garden, as the local Bedouin call this site. Although it is only over a small area this dive is perfect as corals spread from as deep as 50 m right up to 3 m. Descend over the gradual sandy slope and divers will find that they are surrounded instantaneously by huge schools of banner fish and red tooth triggers which is where the dive site got its name. Corals are found in small pinnacles with both soft and hard corals in pristine conditions. Swim over the table corals which are home to scorpion fish, anemone fish, anthias, puffers and many more. For the micro divers in us nudibranches are often seen here including the spanish dancer, while turtles and eagle rays have also been spotted.
