The City Reef at Keppel Bay

November 7, 2011

Hantu Blog volunteers were a part of the effort to help discover and document the marine life beneath the Marina at Keppel Bay. The Marina has put together a wonderful website for what is now known as the City Reef at Keppel Bay.

It was a very unique experience to explore the myriad of corals and marine life that have colonised the, what I like to call, upside-down world beneath the pontoons of the marina. Usually the reef is in front or below us, but for the dives at Keppel Bay, we had to crane out necks to peek into the reef above us! It was so thrilling!

Volunteers did two dives at the marina, one during the day and another during the night. This octopus encountered during the night dive was certainly a highlight for all of us. Ria Tan recently posted about Keppel Bay winning two awards for its efforts to protect the life in its marina. Congratulations to Keppel Bay! We hope their efforts inspire others in the industry to play an active part in enabling their marinas to burst into life!
