Shallow Bangka coral garden with easy critter-rich diving.
Busa Bora Kampung is a shallow Bangka reef where a healthy coral garden begins close to the surface and slopes down to sand with plenty of room for slow critter hunting. It works best as an easy local dive or snorkel stop, combining bright hard and soft coral with sandy patches where small macro life starts to appear.
