Two great walls. Probably the best dive site but for advanced divers only (depth, current). Pelagic fishes.
Yapak 1 is less well known and less frequently dived than it's more famous brother Yapak 2 and is for experienced divers only. We will jump in at the northwest tip of the island and make a head first descent to 35m where we will find the top of the wall which drops vertically to 55m plus. We will swim along the top edge where we can see cactus, black and fan corals and the larger reef fish. Sharks, rays, tuna and jacks are common and there is a nice chimney 3m wide which we can enter at 38m deep and exit on top of the wall at 32m.

Certainly a world class dive. Famous for its inhabitants, ranging from gray reef to white tip sharks, with reported sightings of hammerhead sharks. Schools of barracudas, jacks, tuna, surgeon fish, snappers, sweetlips and rainbow runners, as well as occasional large groupers, turtles and napoleon wrasse are commonly seen. Also a good dive site for technical and trimix diving.Calypso Diving School 5-Star IDC Center Calypso.ph

The Camia II, once a steel hulled fishing vessel, was sunk in January 2000. It rests on the bottom at 30 meters with its wheel house at 20 meters. It has since developed very nicely as an artificial reef. The sealife include large red bass, bluefin trevallies, scorpion fish, school of batfish, occasional schools of jacks, some small frogfish and triggerfish, and a handful of curious trumpet fish.
Boat access. A 10-15 minute ride from shore. Dive shop operators maintain permanent buoy markers to the immediate north and south of the sunken ship. Your boat will tie-off at either one of these locations and the group will descend along the rope. Depending on a divers skill level, there are 3 cargo compartments, an engine room, small forward room, and the captains helm that can be entered while maintaining a reasonable amount of ambiant light (weather/visibility permitting).
Camia II is also known as The Camia, Camia Reef.
