    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Pulau Rawa offers straightforward diving, a good spot for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon. The gentle slope introduces you to various reef fish darting between the corals, nothing too dramatic, but always interesting. We’ve seen quite a few blue-spotted rays resting on the sandy patches here, and occasional turtles cruising by. It’s a pleasant, easy dive.
