Best for intermediate divers, 5-30m, boat entry, variable current.
Humphead Point at Mataking Island offers a combination of reef, wall, and drift diving. The site features a shallow reef starting at 5 metres that transitions into a wall dropping beyond 30 metres. Divers experience variable currents that can shift from gentle to demanding, with strong surges possible. Visibility typically ranges from 15 to 30 metres, and water temperatures remain between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius. Access is by boat only, and night diving is available. Due to the potential for strong currents and sharp coral on the wall face, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Always confirm conditions and drift plans with your skipper before entry.
