Steep Derawan outer reef with coral, rays, and macro life.
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.

Safety Notes
Jack Point is best planned as a depth-aware drift on an exposed slope. Watch current, monitor descent on the wall, and avoid getting pulled too deep into the sand-and-rubble cuts.

Scuba Diving
Most scuba dives follow the outer reef line past coral growth, feather stars, sponges, and sandy cuts, looking both into the blue for passing animals and back toward the slope for macro life.
