Seraya coast macro shore dive
Melasti is a shore-access macro dive along the Seraya coast near Tulamben, built for slow searching over a sandy bottom with scattered rocks. It is a favorite for underwater photographers and night dives, with tiny critters like nudibranchs, frogfish, leaf scorpionfish, harlequin shrimp, and seahorses driving most of the action. The site is best enjoyed with careful buoyancy and a slow pace so you can keep the silt down.
