It's a new site to dive in Indonesia. It takes around an hour to reach from Ternate island by speedboat. There's no good hotel. only homestay or motel. The electricity still limited. The food is more like Manado style. Mostly the dive site is just found around this last 2-3 months. Here got wreck, wall dive, a lot of macro, corals. But some of corals are no good, because the civil do bombing to get the fish. We still educate them to do the right fishing and we also do a campaign to save the sea for this area, because this area already near Irian Jaya, the creature and the sea are look similar. The water around 27-30 degrees.
Here just got 2 season. either is heavy rain or less rain. no long summer or spring.
