Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Lighthouse Virgin Cocoa Islands offers some of Derawan Islands's richest reef diving.
Lighthouse Virgin Cocoa offers a comfortable dive, maxing out at 27m. It’s a solid spot for newer divers, with generally mild conditions. You’ll drift past some healthy hard coral patches, a good place to spot smaller reef fish like damselfish and parrotfish. We’ve had some good luck here finding nudibranchs tucked away, so keep an eye out on the reef structure.
