    Waecicu, right on Labuan Bajo’s doorstep, is a great spot for getting your fins wet without the fuss. It’s mostly sand, shallow, maxing out at 12 meters, and you won’t feel a whisper of current, which makes it perfect for knocking off some rust or a first open water dive. We’ve found some really interesting characters here over the years: devil scorpionfish blended right into the sand, the odd Lembeh sea dragon doing its slow crawl, and a decent variety of nudibranchs if you take your time. You'll also see lionfish patrolling and flounders expertly camouflaged, waiting to dart away. Visibility generally sits around 10 meters, so it’s not for grand panoramas, but it’s just right for digging into the smaller stuff.
