Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Small Fish Country offers some of Derawan Islands's richest diving.
Small Fish Country, near Derawan, is exactly what it sounds like. We've often seen vast shoals of juvenile fusiliers and snapper here, sometimes so thick they obscure the reef. It’s a good spot for wide-angle photography when those schools gather, and an easy drift dive generally. We’d suggest it for divers who enjoy observing schooling behaviour.
