Palung Palung

Palung is located between Drop Off and Batu Kelebit. It can be reached by speedboat. It takes 5 minutes to reach and you can see the beautiful coastal scenery along the way. Palung Palung's brightly colored corals provide an ideal habitat for marine life of all shapes and sizes. Hundreds of small fish swim around the reefs, while butterfly fish, yellow damselfish, sergeant major, and other species hover around the slopes. Occasionally, a lone pufferfish or barracuda will appear. Look closely and you might spot a scorpion fish hiding in the coral reef. If you're lucky, you might even see a turtle or reef shark.

Alamanda

The corals here are very healthy, the topography is very unique. The contrast between the bright white sand and the various stony corals makes Alamanda stand out from other dive sites. This site requires diving in deeper waters and is more suitable for experienced divers. There are generally currents here, and the currents may change direction.
