Nabucco Spice Island
Nabucco Spice Island is a remote house reef dive on Kusu Island in North Maluku.
About Nabucco Spice Island
Nabucco Spice Island is the north-side house reef at Kusu Island in South Halmahera, a Coral Triangle setting with direct jetty access, coral-rich slopes, and tide-aware conditions. The reef mixes sheltered shallow coral tops with a deeper outer slope, so it works for relaxed reef dives, photography, and small-group exploration rather than a casual drop-in.
