Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Iyan's Place offers some of Derawan Islands's richest diving.
Iyan’s Place is a gentle introduction to Derawan’s underwater scene. It’s a sandy slope, ideal for new divers or those looking for a relaxed second dive. You’ll find a good collection of critters here, like various nudibranchs and small crabs tucked into the sand. It’s not a thrill-a-minute, but for a calm dive with interesting macro life, it’s a solid choice.
