Exploring the Derawan Islands: A Diver’s Guide
The Derawan Islands, located 30 km off the coast of East Kalimantan, are a diver’s haven. The archipelago consists of 31 islands, with Derawan, Maratua, Sangalaki, and Kakaban being the most prominent. Each island offers unique dive sites catered to different levels of diving expertise. For instance, Cape Kri in Raja Ampat is renowned for its rich marine biodiversity, often cited in marine biology journals for its high fish population.
Sangalaki Island is famed for the frequent sightings of manta rays, offering divers an opportunity to swim alongside these majestic creatures. Dive trips to Sangalaki often cost around $150 USD per person, including equipment and guide fees. Meanwhile, Kakaban Island is famous for its jellyfish lake, an isolated marine ecosystem where you can swim among non-stinging jellyfish, a unique experience that costs approximately $50 USD for a guided tour.
