Staghorn Crest dive site is located in Sipadan just North of South Point. It is a great coral garden in the shallows followed by a 15m deep plateau. There are many cracks along the wall full of life. The coral is also very beautiful and in good condition. A very good place for underwater macro photography. Due to the strong current this dive site is reserved to open water advanced divers or CMAS 2 *.

Staghorn Crest is classified as a Deep dive. Staghorn Crest is sometimes classified as a Drift dive. This location is a Reef. Ready to swim around this Wall structure?
