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 Traffic offers some of Derawan Islands's richest diving.
Turtle Traffic in the Derawan Islands lives up to its name, offering a reliable chance to see green sea turtles and hawksbill turtles. We often find them resting on the sandy bottom or gliding along the reef edge, sometimes in surprisingly high numbers. It’s a relaxed drift, generally mellow, making it a good spot for newer divers or anyone wanting a relaxed encounter with these ancient mariners. Visibility is usually solid, allowing for clear views of the turtle activity.
