From
the information on the electronic charts one would expect depths in
excess of 20m. The satellite image clearly shows a wide entrance
between two reefs with a long inlet surrounded by mangroves.
Information posted in the blog of Gryphon II who came this way a year
ago also suggested this would be a good spot to stop and it is. The
reef is clearly visible at the entrance, depth here 39m and gradually
shallowing as you go further in. We stopped at 01 43.54N 124 58.75E
in 14m mud with all the room required to swing.
With
the tide coming in we chose to dive the north side of the channel
towing the dinghy. It was an OK shallow dive on our left shoulder
and deep, dark water on our right disappearing to 40m. One might
have expected to see a shark cruising back and forth – alas all the
sharks seem to have disappeared since we've been in SE Asia. Too
many fishermen, too many nets.

Teluk
Korakora proved an excellent, sheltered stop for the night and one
we'd recommend.
