Salang Bay has two easily accessible house reefs, with a reasonable depth range of 5 to 15 meters. Two perfect locations for the third dive of the day or to update your skills after a long period of inactivity. After you have practised your skills in the sandy area you can explore the reef either side of the jetty. Not only divers, but also snorkellers will find big schools of bumphead parrot fish, clownfish, nudibranchs, schools of reef fish or even hawksbill turtles swimming on top of the shallow reef. This is mainly a hard coral reef, built of staghorn, tabletop, brain and blue corals. The house reefs are also a macro heaven with nudibranchs, sea horses (if you're lucky), hingebeak shrimps, saddleback clownfish, moray eels, pipe fish, shrimps and much more. From February to March you can observe the mating season of our local reef cuttlefish (30cm). During this time they lay thousands of eggs into the reef, which are then again a food source for turtles. A perfect opportunity for underwater photographers to get close and take some unforgettable images. The house reef is also one of our prime sites for night dives, where you will have an amazing muck dive with sleeping turtles, rabbit fishes, parrot fishes, hunting yellow head moray eels, bamboo sharks and a myriad of craps and critters
