Ochi Mokoko is a gentle boat reef off Sali Kecil.
Ochi Mokoko is a gentle North Maluku boat dive with a marginal reef that slopes to a sandy plateau. The profile is easy to read, the marine life is varied, and a short boat ride keeps the logistics simple. It works best on calmer days when the water stays settled, and it suits divers who want a relaxed reef dive instead of a deep or technical outing.
