Maubara offers a slight difference to the underwater topography, where the bottom composition consists of mostly fine brownish-grey sand. Shallow corals fringe the coastline, and taper off down a slope towards deeper sections. Common sightings around this area include garden eels, crabs and shrimps, small stingrays, snappers, coral groupers, scorpionfish, and nudibranchs. On the surface, keep eyes out over the blue and to the horizon, as pods of dolphins are often seen in the area.

Access to these reefs are best done by boat, as community development along the coastline makes parking and shore dive access trickier. Strong and sudden changes in currents have also been encountered on the sites in this area, particularly a forceful downward current pulling in a northerly direction. Some of these water movements can be observed even from the surface, but sometimes conditions may appear calm at the surface yet change mid-water. Boat dives allow for more flexibility with entries and exits.

Divers are advised to go with an experienced local operator and guide to ensure ample care and attention has been paid towards planning the dive for best tide & conditions.
