About Pulau Panggang Barat
Pulau Panggang Barat is a shallow west-side reef off Panggang Island in the Kepulauan Seribu, with a simple profile and a lighthouse used as the entry/exit reference. The reef is easy to follow, with sandy stretches, coral-covered patches, and regular reef-fish potential, and it is especially good when winds come from the east. Plan for a relaxed shallow dive or snorkel session that still depends on sea state and visibility on the day.
