Tanjun Parigi

This vibrant reef slopes from 5 to 40 meters, teeming with colorful coral gardens and steep walls. Expect schools of barracuda, reef sharks, and turtles gliding past. Strong currents attract pelagics, making it ideal for drift diving. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters, revealing stunning biodiversity. The site's dramatic drop-offs and healthy hard corals create a breathtaking underwater landscape. Best dived at slack tide when currents ease. Suitable for all levels, though beginners should stay shallow. Night dives reveal octopus and crustaceans. A must-dive spot in the region.
