About this site
This dive site off Mantanani Besar features a sloping reef with vibrant coral gardens. Expect encounters with green sea turtles, reef sharks, and schools of tropical fish. The sandy bottom transitions into coral-covered boulders, creating swim-throughs and overhangs. Visibility often exceeds 20 meters, with gentle currents suitable for all levels. Night dives reveal octopus and crustaceans. The site's shallow sections make it ideal for beginners, while deeper areas offer exploration. Water temperatures stay warm year-round, averaging 28-30°C.
