About this site
Bakalang Jetty is a beginner dive site near Bakalang village in the Pantar Strait, Alor Regency, listed as site number 08. It has two jetties and combines muck diving with coral.
The old jetty pillars are encrusted with sponges and soft corals, and sunbeams filter dramatically through the planks, which makes the site a favourite with photographers. There is no current. Divers can look for rhinopias, frogfish, ornate ghost pipefish, nudibranchs, octopus and hairy shrimp.
