About Joy Corner
Joy Corner is a house-reef dive off Joy Island with a shallow start, a gentle slope, and an overhang section that leads into Joy Cave farther south. It is known for nurse sharks and whitetip reef sharks around the coral blocks, plus moray eels, turtles, and napoleon wrasse along the slope. The site works best as a relaxed guided reef dive with normal buoyancy discipline around the cave side.
