About Manukan shore
Manukan shore sits close to the island jetty and combines a broad sandy bottom with a few submerged artificial objects that have grown into a small reef. The site starts very shallow for basic skills and then eases into a gentle northward slope, so it works well for beginner training, simple fun dives, and calm-water snorkeling. It is a straightforward entry point with enough reef growth and tropical life to stay interesting without adding much route complexity.
