About Tanjung Penyu

Tanjung Penyu is a shallow reef dive just off Pramuka Island in the Thousand Islands. It is usually reached by a short boat transfer, has good coral and plenty of macro life, and can get choppy when seasonal winds pick up. The site fits newer divers well when the sea is settled, though the surface can feel livelier than the reef itself.
