About this site

Goa Burung Point lies off Morotai Island in the Maluku Islands of eastern Indonesia, a region better known for World War II history than for established dive tourism. The waters around Morotai sit at the edge of the Halmahera Sea, within a part of the Coral Triangle that remains lightly surveyed by recreational diving operations.
