About this site
Tangup Hot Spring is a volcanic dive site featuring a sandy slope studded with lava rocks, with depths ranging from 5 to 30 metres. The terrain reflects the site's geothermal origins, and the underwater hot spring itself can be experienced at around 15 metres, though its exact depth shifts depending on the tides.
The site suits divers from beginner level upward, and the gently sloping sandy bottom with lava rock features makes it accessible for those with limited experience while still offering interest for more seasoned divers.
Marine life at Tangup Hot Spring includes green sea turtles, batfish, surgeonfish, lionfish, and fusiliers, along with a variety of nudibranchs, shrimps, and orang-utan crabs among the lava rocks.
