Big Fish Country - Derawan Islands

Big Fish Country lives up to its name, a deeper site where we've consistently encountered larger pelagics. Expect to see grey reef sharks patrolling the drop-off, schooling barracuda, and often a few passing tuna. This spot is best for experienced divers comfortable with potential currents and keen on big animal encounters rather than macro life. Come here for the action, not the coral.
