About Nudibranch Town
Nudibranch Town is a Mataking drift reef where the route moves between coral cover, open water, and the occasional stronger push of current. Divers come for the reef structure, the macro pockets, and the chance of bigger visitors such as turtles and sharks on a calm, clear day. Plan it as a boat dive with good trim and a slower pace than the name might suggest.
