Why dive here
With 131+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - Nabucco Spice Island offers some of Halmahera's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest April, May, December.
Nabucco Spice Island, located on the north side of Kusu Island, is the house reef for Extradivers Nabucco Spice Island Resort. It's a proper coral reef dive, with plenty of hard and soft corals, and a max depth of 23m. We've seen some impressive schools here, like the barracuda that drift through. Look out for the resident humphead parrotfish munching away. This site can have a decent current, especially with the tides, so be ready for that. Visibility averages around 15m, which is good enough to take in the blackbelly pygmygobies darting around the staghorn coral formations. It's a good spot for a relaxed dive, provided you check the current beforehand.
