Mid Reef is situated east of Pulau Manukan and is a submerged reef covered with hard coral, sponges and anemones. Click herefor a photo of a Marble mouth Frogfish (Lophiocharon lithinostomus) found there.
Good place for both snorkelling and scuba. Marine life is great: it consists of a sandy area where you find a lot of special animals like fingered dragonets, flounders, gobies, cuttlefish and even the occasional sea snake.
Not as nice as the other dive sites in the area. But good enough for a 2nd or 3rd dive of the day. Viz can go down to 4m depending on current. No fish around for days if there was dolphins flyby. Occasional sighting of turtles.
This dive site is located in the north of Pulau Gaya. It is a coral garden with staghorn corals and a slope with sandy bottom. Mostly small reef fishes, some stingrays
