About Sahaung

Sahaung is a pinnacle dive in Bangka, North Sulawesi, where two coral-covered rises sit over a sandy floor and a sloping reef. The site is known for bright soft corals, sea fans, and dense marine life moving with the current, so a slow, controlled approach pays off. It is an iconic Bangka dive, but the best moments come when you settle in and let the reef work around you.
