About this site
Tanjung Merah lies along the coast of Bangka Island, off the northern tip of mainland Sulawesi in Indonesia, within the Bangka and Bunaken region known for its volcanic shoreline and boat access from small coastal settlements nearby. The reef reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres and is rated an intermediate dive. Divers have reported barracuda, squid, and triggerfish over the reef. The shallows here can be vulnerable at low tide, and some coral damage from snorkellers has been noted at the site.
