About Tukad Naga
Tukad Naga is a black-sand muck dive with scattered rocks and no reef structure. The site is all about slow macro searching, with nudibranchs, frogfish, crabs, and octopus tucked into the bottom and any small irregularity. Plan it as a beginner-friendly guided boat dive, because the appeal is careful bottom time and good buoyancy rather than covering ground. It works best when you want quiet water, patient critter hunting, and a site that rewards repeated looks.
