About This Dive Spot
Golden Crown features a series of pinnacles located at the shallow end of Neptune’s Rhapsody, beginning at a depth of 3 meters and reaching a maximum depth of 30 meters. The site is adorned with vibrant golden yellow soft corals. It is best explored during the incoming tide when the stronger currents enhance the feeding activity of the soft corals due to the influx of nutrient-rich water. Marine life commonly observed here includes ornate ghost pipefish, common banded pipefish, various soft and hard corals, anemones with their associated fish, blacktip and whitetip reef sharks, damsel fish, moray eels, trigger fish, and nudibranchs.
