About this site
Pantee Peunateung is a deep wall dive site at Pulau Weh, Indonesia, featuring a crescent moon-shaped wall and distinctive rice-terrace formations. The wall runs from 25 m down to 40 m, well beyond standard recreational diving limits, and is draped in sea fans and corals along its full extent.
The site carries strong current, which funnels dense aggregations of fish along the wall — divers can expect to move through rivers of colourful fusiliers and barracuda, with a resident school of jacks circling the wall. Hammerhead sharks have been recorded here, though sightings are rare. Other species include bigeye trevally, napoleon wrasse, milkfish, eagle rays, marble rays, tuna, swimming moray eels, lionfish, nudibranchs, and octopus.
The strong current and depth rating place this site firmly in the advanced category. Water temperature sits at 28–29 °C and the site can be dived year-round with good visibility.
