    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Siladen Timur is a gentle introduction to diving around Siladen. Dropping to a maximum of 19 metres, it’s a calm site, often sheltered from the stronger currents found elsewhere. You’ll typically spot plenty of reef fish, sometimes a turtle munching on the corals, and often a resident school of batfish hanging out in the blue. It’s a solid choice for those newer to diving or anyone looking for a relaxed, easy swim.
