About Sahaung 1
Sahaung 1 is one of Bangka's signature pinnacle dives, where twin coral-covered pinnacles rise from a sloping reef and the route runs between them. The site is known for colorful soft coral, sea fans, and a lot of reef life, while current can add energy and help concentrate fish along the ridges. It is a strong fit for scuba divers who want clear-water topography and a route that can be tuned to the flow.
