Turtle Town - Derawan Islands

Turtle Town, just off Derawan Island, is exactly what it sounds like: a reliable spot for turtle encounters. We've seen green sea turtles and hawksbills here, often just cruising the sandy bottom or resting under small coral bommies. It's a relaxed dive, good for beginners or those who just want to spend some time observing these gentle giants. Expect a relatively shallow profile and mild currents on most days.
