Bunaken Timur 1 is a wall dive in Bunaken National Park known for dramatic reef scenery and a diverse mix of marine life. The route typically follows a steep wall with caves and cracks, where corals and sponges coat the drop-off. Divers often scan the face and crevices for larger animals and small critters alike. It is reported as suitable for scuba, freediving, and snorkeling, but the wall profile and overhead features favor strong buoyancy control and comfort with drop-offs.
