Best for intermediate divers, 18-40m, boat entry, moderate current.
Yellow Corner is a marine site featuring a combination of reef, wall, and drift diving. The topography drops from 18 to 40 metres, offering visibility of 30 metres. Divers should expect moderate currents that funnel along the corner, requiring careful positioning. The site includes caves and swim-throughs, which present overhead environment hazards; entry into these confined spaces requires specific training and equipment. Boat access is mandatory, and divers must account for surge and swell during entry and exit. Given the depths, solid buoyancy control and air management are essential. Water temperatures remain consistent between 29 and 30 degrees Celsius year-round.
