Tanjung Pasir, known as "Sand Corner," is a boat-access sandy slope in the Togean Islands that is often used for confined-water training, introductory dives, and easy snorkel sessions. The route stays simple and shallow, with scattered coral and reef fish on calm days, so it works best as an easy practice site rather than a place for structure or current.
