Shallow reef dive in Kepulauan Seribu
Tanjung Pramuka is a relaxed Kepulauan Seribu reef dive with a shallow start, sandy patches, and scattered coral heads that gradually deepen away from shore. It suits a guided boat day more than a technical route, with an easy reef profile and ordinary tropical fish life. Expect a straightforward island dive rather than a current-heavy drift, and plan normal boat logistics around Pulau Pramuka.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided boat reef dive for certified divers; the shallow start and mixed reef-sand bottom keep the route approachable.
Freediving
Not a dedicated freedive site, but the shallow edge may be usable only on calm days with local approval.
Snorkeling
Shallow reef sections may work for snorkeling in calm water, but the spot is primarily set up as a scuba day.
