About Kelapa dua
Kelapa dua is a Kakaban Island wall dive with a shallow coral top, a steep drop and a reputation for early-morning thresher-shark passes. It combines colorful coral, sea fans and macro life in the shallows with a current-sensitive wall below, so it works best as a boat dive planned around timing, guide knowledge and a careful ascent plan.
