Turtle Bay - Derawan Islands

Turtle Bay, off Derawan, is exactly what it sounds like. We often find green and hawksbill turtles resting among the coral patches or cruising along the gentle slopes. It’s a pretty relaxed dive, good for photographers or anyone who just wants to spend some time observing these majestic reptiles without strong currents. Ideal for a slow drift and some quiet contemplation.
