Samama Channel - Derawan Islands

Samama Channel is a drift dive, best timed to catch the incoming tide. We often see schools of barracuda, bigeye trevally, and the occasional reef shark cruising through the deeper sections. It’s a straightforward ride, good for divers comfortable with current looking for pelagic action.
