Sardine Reef

There are no sardines at Sardine Reef; the name refers to how tightly everything else packs together. This submerged mound east of Kri gets raked by current, and on a running tide the water over it turns granular with fusiliers, surgeonfish, and snappers, so dense they periodically blot out the light. Sweetlips crowd shoulder-to-shoulder under the overhangs, wobbegongs lie folded on the plate corals, and trevally, mackerel, and reef sharks make continuous passes through the bait. Because the reef top sits shallow, much of the dive is spent tucked at its shoulder watching the collisions above. It is loud, busy diving, and a fair rival to Cape Kri on the right tide.

您此行的高光时刻: Blackout-dense fish schools; hunting trevally; wobbegongs and sweetlips under the ledges.

地形地貌: Fully submerged oval reef mound, coral-covered on all sides, dropping to sand around 30 m.

水流: Best with some flow; the schools thin out on slack water.

危险因素: Current over an offshore mound with no shelter at the surface; SMB and group discipline required.

高氧（Nitrox）: 在此值得使用：这些潜点的深度范围内，富氧空气（nitrox）能有效延长免减压停留时间，前提是您已接受相关培训。
