Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Midnight Snapper Run offers some of Derawan Islands's richest diving.
Midnight Snapper Run offers a solid dive, particularly if you’re newer to the Derawan area. We found the 24-meter depth manageable and the lack of strong currents makes it a relaxed experience. It’s not a frenetic dive, but we consistently see schooling snapper, often in decent numbers, weaving through the coral patches. It’s a good spot to just settle in, watch the fish move, and practice your buoyancy without feeling rushed.
