Dive-site story
Pulau Matahari sits in the central Thousand Islands archipelago off Jakarta. A fringing reef slopes down to a sandy seabed scattered with coral rubble and patch reefs, where divers encounter hard corals alongside soft sea whips and sea anemones. While wind and tides affect clarity, the sheltered profile maintains calm conditions.
