About Cape Mansuar
Cape Mansuar is a short-boat reef in Dampier Strait where the dive starts on a wall and works toward a fishy corner, with reef sharks, barracuda, turtles, wobbegongs, and healthy hard-and-soft coral on the slope. It is a current-aware site rather than a hard drift, so the best runs are planned around tide and group control. The route rewards divers who stay tight, move deliberately, and use the wall and corner as the main shape of the dive.
