About this site
Pulau Paku Kecil is a small island a stone's throw from Pasir Panjang, and it lies next to its neighbour Pulau Paku Besar. Both islands are popular with snorkellers, yet they have enough to keep divers happy.
The sandy bottom around the islands brings encounters with schooling razorfish, pipefish and other bottom dwellers. The reef holds soft corals, staghorn coral, tube worms and molluscs, and visibility is great. It is a beginner dive with depths down to about 18.3 metres.
