About The Overhang Kusu South
The Overhang Kusu South is an Indonesian reef dive on the southwest corner of Kusu Island. It combines rocky overhangs, coral heads, and gullies that can take the edge off the flow, but the current can still be a factor. The site suits divers who are comfortable managing current on a guided boat dive. Expect a boat drop, a controlled start, and a reef path that can feel calm in the shelter of the gullies or more energetic when the current picks up. The dive rewards steady buoyancy, close attention to the reef edge, and an easy pace, but it still stays within normal recreational diving limits.
