Insider's View

Indonesian Borneo, perhaps one of the best diving destinations in the world, comes complete with crystal clear warm waters, white sandy beaches, and an astonishingly varied array of underwater life. From critters to pelagic and the largest range of hard corals, there is something here to please everyone.

Derawan Island is the diving area we concentrate on in this region. The diversity of hard corals is incredible, whether its wall, reef, drift, or cave diving you are after, we guarantee you that you will find it here and turtle lovers are in for a real treat. Derawan may be small and can be walked around in 45 mins but there are a few resorts, a handful of souvenir stalls and some cafes in the ‘tourist village’.

This tranquil island is the place to go for a real tropical getaway with super relaxed diving, enjoy sloping reefs, small walls, little current and it is huge on turtles and macro. Nearby uninhabited islands such as Kakaban, offer strong currents that are not for the faint hearted, where sharks cruise by effortlessly as well as large groups of schooling barracuda, all pretty much a daily occurrence, bountiful dolphins, turtles and flying fish.
