Why dive here
With 131+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - Nabucco Outer Reef 1 offers some of Halmahera's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest April, May, December.
The Nabucco Outer Reef 1 site, off Halmahera, gives you a solid reef dive, particularly for those who appreciate the smaller details. We found a healthy stretch of hard corals, especially some robust staghorn formations, dropping gently to around 20 metres. Keep your eyes peeled for critters tucked into the coral; those little blackbelly pygmygobies are always a treat to spot. With typically good visibility, it’s a site that rewards a slow pace and a keen eye, fitting for anyone who enjoys a relaxed exploration rather than a fast drift.
