    CharacterReef dive

    Pulau Derdi offers a solid coral reef dive in Cenderawasih Bay. Expect to drift along healthy hard and soft corals, keeping an eye out for the usual reef fish patrolling their territory. It's a relaxed dive, good for photographers keen on macro subjects or divers looking for a mellow afternoon. We've found it a reliable spot when the bigger pelagic action isn't playing ball.
