About Munda Bar
Munda Bar is a relaxed reef slope and wall in Munda, with healthy hard and soft corals running along the drop and plenty of space for an easy drift. It is one of the area's strongest wildlife dives, with stingrays, reef sharks, turtles, and a busy mix of reef fish usually in play. Most divers treat it as a warm-water boat outing that stays best when the sea is calm and the water is clear.
