MAGIC CRACK
Description:
A continuance of the gentle sand slope, the highlight of this dive is a coral and rubble patch stretching from 12 – 27 meters and is the best place in Lembeh to find thorny seahorses – up to 7 in a dive. There is a good cleaning station, a strong nudibranch representation, frogfish, ribbon eels, ghost pipefish and it is also a good spot for wonderpus. In the shallows towards the bay is sand, but there is a healthy hard coral garden to the side, stretching southward out of the bay. The site is named Magic Crack because it is between two other dive sites - Magic Rock and Retak Larry, with "Retak" meaning crack. Since it lies in the middle, one word was taken from each of the surrounding dive sites.
