Boat-access reef in Menjangan Bay with coral, small walls, and reef life.
Boat access from the local dive base is the normal setup.
Mangrove Point Gawana is a boat-access reef in Menjangan Bay with colorful coral, small steep walls, and sandy sections. It suits a wide range of divers and is known for healthy gorgonians plus regular reef life such as damselfish, cuttlefish, turtles, and other schooling fish. The short boat transfer and sheltered bay setting make it straightforward to plan as a steady reef day, with enough structure for newer divers and enough relief for experienced divers.
