Hitam Putih, meaning "black and white", usually delivers on its name with striking contrasts. You'll often find dark volcanic sand patches next to bright coral bommies, home to pipefish, nudibranchs, and a variety of shrimp. It’s a good spot for macro enthusiasts, offering a relaxed dive perfect for an afternoon exploration. Just keep an eye out for a passing reef shark cruising the edge of the deeper water.
