About this site
Baucau is a coastal town on the north shore of East Timor, east of Dili, known for its old Portuguese-era town and nearby coastline along the Wetar Strait. Diving in this area involves the reefs and drop-offs along Timor's north coast, which are reached from small coastal access points near the town.
