Why dive here
With 163+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, blue whales, seahorses, sperm whales and whale sharks - South Pangah Balang offers some of Flores's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, October, November.
South Pangah Balang starts with a sloping wall, thick with huge leather corals. We often find ourselves kicking a bit here; the current can be lively, which is great for the soft corals that bloom in impressive sizes and colours as you descend. The wall eventually plateaus around 28 metres, offering a good chance to explore the colourful array. It’s a site that rewards divers who enjoy a drift and appreciate healthy coral landscapes, particularly the large, swaying soft corals.
