Why dive here
Palau Pagang Utara is a dive where divers can encounter mantis shrimp. Water ranges 29-32°C, warmest April, May, June.
Palau Pagang Utara, off Sumatra, offers a mellow dive often suitable for newer divers. The main attraction here is the drift along the sloping reef, which can be quite pretty with soft corals swaying. We’ve seen good numbers of fusiliers and snapper schooling, and if you’re lucky, a turtle might cruise by. It's a solid, undemanding dive, good for getting your buoyancy dialed in.
