Sea-fan wall dive near Nunukan.
Resort dive boats from the Nunukan/Nabucco area normally service the site.
Sea Fan City is a boat-access wall just off the Nunukan Islands, best treated as a controlled macro dive rather than a big open-water cruise. The site earns its name from the dense sea fan and gorgonian growth that gives the wall its character, and it is especially rewarding for buoyancy-controlled divers who like small-critter hunting, camera work, and a classic tropical wall profile with enough structure to keep each pass interesting. Local resort boats normally handle the run, which keeps the day simple once the weather window is right.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Good buoyancy and camera control matter because the wall is full of delicate sea fans and macro life.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target; Sea Fan City is primarily a scuba wall dive.
Snorkeling
The real draw is the wall and macro life, so snorkeling is not the main use case.
