Rose Wall - Cocos (Keeling) Islands
Tanjung Duva Duva, off Pulau Sali Kecil, is a gentle slope dive that often surprises us. It’s a ten-minute boat ride from Kusu Island Resort, making it an easy add-on to any trip. The coral coverage here is genuinely impressive, full of table corals and branching species that create plenty of nooks. We’ve drifted along, spotting Bumphead Parrotfish crunching on coral, and seen Blacktips cruise by in the blue. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too; the resident pygmy gobies are always a treat. It’s a site that suits divers looking for a relaxed pace with solid reef health, and a chance to find both big and small critters.
