About Busabora 1
Busabora 1 is a shallow Bangka reef slope with coral blocks on a sandy bottom and plenty of room for slow cruising. The site is known for pygmy seahorses and other macro life, while schools of fish and scattered coral make it rewarding for careful buoyancy and photography. It is best treated as a guided boat dive with a comfortable pace, because current and visibility change with the season.
