Dive-site story
Located off the private resort island of Pulau Genteng Kecil in the Thousand Islands archipelago, this fringing reef slopes gently into sandy seabed punctuated by coral bommies. The site provides sheltered conditions typical of the inner Java Sea, making it a reliable training ground and a relaxing shore or tender dive away from Jakarta's mainland. Divers encounter patches of branching Acropora, gorgonian sea fans, and soft coral colonies that shelter varied macro life and reef fish.
Healthy branching and table hard coral formations along the upper slope
Macro photography opportunities featuring colorful sea slugs and small crustaceans
Calm, protected waters suitable for easy navigation and training dives
