Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Maratua Jellyfish Lakes offers some of Derawan Islands's richest lagoon diving.
On Maratua, a short boat ride takes you to one of the Derawan Islands' famous jellyfish lakes. Imagine freshwater lakes, cut off from the sea, where jellyfish thrive without predators. We snorkeled through clouds of golden, spotted, and moon jellyfish, all harmless. It's a unique experience, perfect for snorkelers and photographers looking for something truly different from a typical reef dive.
