About Pulau Air
Pulau Air is a Jakarta training island with sheltered inside water and a deeper outside edge. The site works well for buoyancy practice, controlled drift drills, and repeated skills work, while still offering reef fish, turtles, nudibranchs, and occasional schooling fish. Use the calmer inside for simpler work and treat the outside edge as the more open, experienced side of the site.
