Diving
[edit]Kelapa Dua dive site is located on Kakaban Island and offers a unique experience. It’s relatively new to divers, but quickly becoming known for its resident Thresher Sharks. These magnificent creatures are frequently observed cleaning their bodies early in the morning – a truly special sight. The underwater landscape consists of a steep wall characterized by abundant colorful coral formations and sea fans, creating an absolutely stunning visual display. While deeper areas require advanced diving certifications such as Advanced Open Water with Deep Dive specialties, shallower sections, extending to approximately 18 meters below the surface, are accessible to Open Water scuba divers.
