Tribe Gate 1
Also known as Oval Reef
The closest boat dive to the jetty, and a reliable clownfish site.
8–16metres
A submerged oval reef only a few minutes from the jetty, which makes it the site we fall back on when the weather cuts the longer boat rides. Despite being the nearest site it is genuinely good: all five clownfish species found in Andaman waters have been recorded here, alongside a notable concentration of giant clams.
