About this site
Turtle Traffic is a dive site at Maratua Island in the Derawan Archipelago, Indonesia, named for the green sea turtles that gather there. It is a relatively shallow site, often a gentle drift, with a healthy reef and a significant wall. Turtles feed on the seagrass beds and rest under coral bommies.
The reef also carries hard and soft corals, nudibranchs and the occasional reef shark, and an oceanic sunfish is sometimes seen in the deeper water.
