The beauty of its incredible soft corals that emerge from the surface is certainly one of the main marine attractions of Triton Bay. There are more than 959 different types of corals and 471 types of corals known in this area. Other highlights include black coral forests, overflowing sweetlips benches, vibrant macro lives, and a good chance to encounter whale sharks on Triton Bay Bagan, the fishing platforms that these giants come to visit to suck the fishermen's nets full of fish. In Triton Bay, the forests of black coral and the proliferation of gigantic sponges of all colors will delight the most jaded divers.
Some sites experience strong currents, but we carefully plan dives to avoid challenging conditions. However, at certain locations on this cruise, moderate currents are essential to attract exciting marine life and enhance fish activity. Our guides always assess currents before the dive briefings.
