Pulau Papa Theo
This island, formerly called Pulau Tondan Timuro was renamed when the vessel
Papa Theo sank on the reef her in 1982. It is a simple wreck dive, with lots
of marine life and occasional sharks in the deeper water at the stern of the
ship. There are parrot fish, some resident groupers, many moray eels and quite
a lot of stingrays in this spot. The northern end of this island is often
chosen as a night dive site.
Pulau Kotok
This island sits on the western edge of the Pulau Seribu Group, and offers the
best coral life. The west and north ends of the island are the best dives (20
meters) because they face the open sea. Schools of sweetlips, turtles and
sharks all inhabit this island. Small manta rays have been seen here and there
is an abundance of gorgaonians and soft corals.
Pulau Gosonglaga
This island is basically a small sandbank surrounded by an immense reef. The
entire circumference reef is good, and in areas good coral growth extends down
to more than 20 meters. |
