The reef has a good cover of soft corals, with many stony corals, staghorn and table corals. Big schools of unicornfish and snapper swirl around, many blue-spotted rays, Napoleon Wrasse, Moray Eels, trumpetfish, bannerfish, butterflyfish, triggerfish and trevally as well as the innumerable reef fish. In places you can find large gorgonians and barrel sponges. It can be possible to snorkel at Mimpang as the reef starts quite shallow on a white sand slope rather than simply dropping off to a wall. Drifting with the current, you can see shark, moray eel, ray and other pelagics.
Visibility is usually very good.
