About Shark Plateau

Often dived along with Batee Tokong. Just north of Batee Tokong you will find a 24-28 m deep plateau, '�Shark Plateau', where black and white tip reef sharks, gray sharks and on the odd occasion, silvertips are met. Marbled & giant groupers play hide and seek along the slopes, black snappers, giant and big eye trevallies, big blacktongue unicorn fish and barracuda's try to induce vertigo to the divers swimming in their midst, while big needle fish circle high above all this, just under the surface. And nice to watch the last one upside down to see their funny behaviour of having an upward '�shower'� in your bubbles of '�air'�. Don't forget to look up once in a while, as an eagle ray or a formation of devil rays might be passing over your head.
