About Pinchers Reef

A bay at the western opening of Malakal Harbour with coral heads on a sand bottom. The reef goes along Arakebesang Island and is relatively shallow at 40ft max. This is likely done best as a night dive - it can be a bit boring in the daytime. Billions of feather stars, Mandarin fish, and oodles of macro life come out - brittlestars, pencil urchins, boxer shrimps, gobies, nudibranchs and blennies. The depth allows for alot of bottom time - take your camera!!!
