Why dive here
With 131+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - Tanjung Dehibira offers some of Halmahera's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest April, May, December.
Tanjung Dehibira, off Pulau Sali Kecil, is a gentle slope that offers a solid dive, particularly if you’re staying near Kusu Island. We've often found ourselves drifting along, watching schools of fusiliers ripple over the corals, thick enough to momentarily dim the light. Depending on the tide, you can get a decent current pushing you, which makes for an easy cruise past the resident batfish and bumphead parrotfish. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too; we've spotted pygmy seahorses tucked away and the usual nudibranchs crawling along. It’s a good spot for a relaxed afternoon dive, maxing out around 22 meters with generally clear 20-meter visibility.
