Pulau Pramuka is a shallow reef and snorkel island.
Pulau Pramuka is a shallow reef-and-jetty dive in the Thousand Islands with shore access, calm island water, and a couple of deeper wreck features for longer scuba sessions. The main reef is beginner-friendly and also works well for snorkeling, while the deeper points add interest for divers who want a fuller island day. Plan for a shore-based start on the north side, calm sea windows, and boat support if you want to visit the wreck features or the outer reef edge.
