• Batu Bolong — A seamount with healthy coral and chances to spot napoleon wrasse and sharks.
• Manta Point — A highlight for swimming with majestic manta rays.

You can also enjoy night dives at select sites like Siaba Besar or Wae Nilu, where nocturnal critters and soft corals come alive after dark.
