Why dive here
With 131+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - Tanjung Neraka offers some of Halmahera's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest April, May, December.
Tanjung Neraka, just a short run south-west from Nabucco, offers a mellow dive, perfect for easing into a Halmahera trip. We found a gently sloping reef, mostly broken coral at first, but dotted with some surprisingly pretty coral heads. Keep an eye out for Glassfish shoals, they really put on a show here, and we spotted a few anemones with their resident shrimps tucked away. It’s a good spot for macro fans, too, with nudibranchs often meandering across the hard and soft coral blocks. The 20-meter max depth and average 14-meter visibility make it an easy, relaxed dive, ideal for a multi-day itinerary.
