Site details

A reef and wall dive off Ternate island (Alor) with interesting overhangs around 30 m and a good reputation for nudibranchs, making it a favourite for macro photographers. The healthy wall is dressed in corals and sponges, and Alor's strong currents can deliver passing fish action. A scenic site usually combined with nearby The Arch and Coral Cliffs.
