Think drift dives along walls, plenty of opportunities for macro enthusiasts, and a real shot at seeing something big. We've heard whispers of whale sharks moving through, especially around Sangeang's volcanic slopes. The currents can get lively, making this better suited for those comfortable moving with the water, though there are calmer spots for newer divers too.
