Boat dive on Tanjung Bakau 3's coral garden slope.
Boat dive on Tanjung Bakau 3's coral garden slope.
Tanjung Bakau 3 is a short boat ride southwest from the resort and features a marginal reef with a coral garden that slopes onto sand below the reef edge. The site works best as a close-following reef dive, because the interest is in the coral blocks and small life rather than a big open-water profile. Expect nudibranchs, moray eels, triggerfish, and other reef life in a compact area.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Keep the group compact and the pace slow, because the site is easier to enjoy when you do not lose the line in low visibility. Tight buoyancy also matters near the coral garden and sandy run-out.
Access Restrictions
Boat access from the resort; plan it as a short guided boat hop southwest from Nabucco.
Legal Notes
Standard reef etiquette applies around the coral garden; keep buoyancy tight so you do not stir the sand.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Reef dive along a sloping profile down to around 25 m.
Freediving
The shallow top can suit a controlled freedive, but the site is mainly set up as a scuba boat dive because visibility can be tight.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is not the main use of the site; the coral garden and marine life sit better below the surface.
