This dive site stretches out of Genting Bay on the famous Coral Island and slopes down to a maximum depth of around 30 meters. The usual dive plan swims along the lower reef edge to about 22m where you will find beautiful granite rock boulders covered so densely in different soft corals that you can’t even see the rock anymore. In between some of those rocks lies Fan Canyon, which received its name from the dozens of gorgonian sea fan corals which cover the walls of the rocks. At 16m there is a nice (but narrow) tunnel worth swimming through because of its thousands of tiny anchovies.
Fan canyon has some of the greatest variety of nudibranchs and flat worms among all dive sites. The resident marine life include angel, puffer, bat fishes, emperors, parrots, butterfly, nurse sharks, scorpions, stingrays, yellow striped snappers, moray eels and zebra lion fish.
