Jack Point
Steep Derawan outer reef with coral, rays, and macro life.
Usually dived by boat around Kakaban or the outer Derawan circuit, with the reef kept on one shoulder as the slope drops away and depth management becomes the main challenge.
About Jack Point
Jack Point is a steep outer-reef dive in the Derawan area where healthy coral growth, sandy cuts, and rubble bays break up a long descending slope. Divers come here for the mix of big-animal potential and smaller reef life, with zebra sharks, eagle rays, and macro subjects all possible when conditions line up.
