Why dive here
With 118+ marine species recorded in the area - including manta rays, mobula rays (devil rays), orcas, sea turtles and sperm whales - Turtle Parade offers some of Derawan Islands's richest diving.
Turtle Parade, off Derawan, lives up to its name. We often see green turtles here, sometimes dozens on a single dive, gliding past or resting on the sandy bottom. It's a relaxed drift, typically gentle, making it a good spot for newer divers looking for reliable turtle encounters without strong currents. Keep an eye out for a passing eagle ray, too.
