The original name of this little island is Kerupiar. The legend says that during World War II this island was mistaken for a Japanese warship and it was bombed, making it look like is split in two. The boulders outside the reef display large soft corals when schools of fishes stay in between, hiding from current. Whitetips and Balcktips can be seen as well pretty often.

The shallow part of this reef is protected from the usual strong current, where you will be surprised by a spectacular coral garden. When you spent a last minutes of your dive in this area, turtles and sea snakes can be spotted as well. Snorkel is also good on shallow part.

Ready to see mantas? The gentle giants can be found in the shallow reefs between Mansuar and Gam. Usually Mantas tend to come when the water is not clear and there’s more plankton on which they feed. The reef is not only visited by mantas to feed but also to be cleaned. They hover above certain coral heads in slightly deeper water, where butterfly fish and juvenile wrasses come out to pick off the parasites attached to that manta skin or inside their mouths.

This amazing animals can be seen for divers and snorkelers as well.
