Papa Theo Wreck – This steel cargo ship remains relatively intact on the sandy sea floor. The Papa Theo lays in 32 metres / 104 feet of water at its deepest point and around 15 metres / 50 feet at its shallowest. The sides and deck of the wreck are encrusted in corals including lace corals and long sea whips. Common sightings here include groupers, boxfish, moray eels, stingrays and occasional passing turtles and reef sharks.
Poso Wreck – Located close to Pulau Karang Congkak the Poso wreck site is a sloping patchy coral reef down to a flat sand bottom. The wreck attracts a variety of marine life including small schools of fusiliers, barracuda, groupers and batfish which hover in the shaded sections. Critter life here is good and a variety of shrimps, nudibranch and blennies have made the wreck their home. Passing turtles and stingrays burying in the sand are a highlight.
Kotok House Reef – This is an easy sloping site with an artificial reef and reasonable fish life. The rubble patches here are good for hunting for critters including nudibranch and moray eels. Visibility can be limited but on clear days when the sun is shining this is a very pleasant dive. Usual sightings here include butterflyfish, anemonefish, damsels, gobies and occasional blue spotted stingrays.
Tabularasa Wreck – Located just off Pramuka Island the KM Tabularasa is a popular wreck dive. Whilst visibility can be limited to 10 meters it’s usually possible to make out the fusiliers schooling above the deck. Since sinking in 1997 the Tabularusa has remained much in tact and a mix of hard and soft corals have begun to develop attracting a wide range of reef fishes.
Pulau Bulat – This white sand beach island is home to a stretch of sloped, fringing reef. In the shallows the coral coverage is patchy but as you descend you’ll find that whilst still not dense, there is a good mix of healthy hard and soft species. The reef attracts passing turtles, moray eels, fusiliers, snapper, butterflyfish, anemonefish and a range of other small to medium sized indo-pacific species.
