Blue light cave - Derawan Islands

The Blue Light Cave in Derawan isn't a long penetration dive, but it's a unique experience. Divers drop into a spacious cavern where a shaft of sunlight, often appearing electric blue, pierces the darkness. It’s more about the ethereal light show than specific marine life, though you'll find the odd cardinalfish tucked into crevices. This site suits those looking for something a bit different, a photogenic moment rather than a reef teeming with activity.
