Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Gorgonzola offers some of Derawan Islands's richest diving.
Gorgonzola is a gentle, shallower dive in the Derawan Islands, perfect for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. The maximum depth of 23m keeps it comfortable. We’ve found a good variety of reef fish here, along with the occasional turtle gliding past. It's a straightforward site, good for knocking out a few longer bottom times.
