About this site
Lighthouse Reef is an extensive reef at Maratua Atoll in the Derawan Islands of Indonesia, with a mix of hard and soft corals. Its varied structure creates numerous nooks and crannies where small marine life thrives.
Nudibranchs, flatworms and various shrimps can be found, particularly on the deeper sections of the reef wall. Visibility is good and the current gentle in the best conditions, and the reef is a favoured spot for macro photography between April and October.
