Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Cleaning Station Sangalaki offers some of Derawan Islands's richest diving.
Sangalaki’s Cleaning Station is a pretty gentle introduction to the area’s big animal encounters. At a maximum depth of 18 meters, it’s a calm drift over a mostly sandy bottom with coral heads dotted around. Keep an eye out for manta rays coming in for a scrub, especially if the current is mild and the tide is right. We’ve had some lovely, unhurried moments here, just watching them circle. It’s perfect for newer divers, or anyone who just wants to relax and wait for the action to come to them.
