Vlak voor Hotel Maulana ligt de duikstek Mandarin City. Rond zonsondergang maak je een kantduik om de kleurrijke Mandarijn-vis te spotten. De pier van Banda Neira is begroeid met ascidians, sponzen en zachte koralen en herbergt juveniele vleermuisvissen, krokodillenvissen, een verscheidenheid aan verschillende schorpioenvissen, honderden pijpvissen, grote murenen, enzovoort. Er valt nog zoveel te ontdekken dat het altijd de moeite waard is om een tank te pakken en direct voor het duikcentrum in zee te springen.
