Coral Table Dance - Derawan Islands
Coral Table Dance, just off Derawan, is a pretty chill dive. It’s a good spot for easing back into things, or if you’re new to diving. The maximum depth is a gentle 19 meters, so you get plenty of bottom time to just cruise. We've seen some decent nudibranchs here, moving slowly along the hard corals, and often a few reef fish like fusiliers hanging out. It’s a comfortable, easy dive where you can relax and watch the smaller stuff.
