Bakungan - Derawan Islands

Bakungan offers a gentle dive, topping out at 18 meters, making it ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed experience. We usually find a good mix of reef fish here. Look for small schools of snapper and fusiliers weaving through the soft corals. It's a pleasant way to spend an hour underwater, often with minimal current.
