Lots of fishes, clamps, sea-weeds, corals, and molluscs are waiting for you to meet. Due to its uniue nature Pombo Island has become a research and development area as well.

You can see the bottom of the sea right through the clear water. Big and small coral reefs are dominating this area. When the water retreats, those coral reefs will come up forming a beautiful sight.
