Explore Jakarta

Jakarta offers an unexpected underwater paradise just a short boat ride from its bustling urban landscape. The Thousand Islands, or Kepulauan Seribu, present an idyllic diving escape with over 110 islands featuring white sandy beaches and tranquil, clear waters. These islands provide a rich tapestry of marine life, where divers can encounter a diverse range of tropical fish, vibrant coral reefs, and even the occasional visit from turtles and reef sharks. The shallow slopes and excellent visibility make it an ideal spot for beginners and snorkelers alike.

For those seeking more adventure, the volcanic landscapes near Krakatoa and Ujung Kulon National Park offer thrilling dive environments with caverns and swim-throughs sculpted by ancient lava flows. Here, more experienced divers can explore these unique underwater formations and witness the power of nature up close. Dive trips can be arranged through local dive centers, offering convenient weekend getaways or longer liveaboard journeys for those looking to explore the further islands near the Sunda Strait. Whether you seek calm, romantic escapes or exhilarating underwater adventures, Jakarta's nearby islands provide a compelling dive experience that surprises and delights.

Diving in Jakarta

In the Thousand Islands, idyllic beaches descend down to uncover calm dive sites carpeted with pristine coral reefs providing the perfect location to complete dive courses. Thrill-seekers have access to stronger currents, at sites like The Noodle, and well-preserved deep wreck dives are available for experienced divers at Tabularasa Wreck. Those who are feeling bold can venture into tunnels that lead into giant underwater caves at Karang Copong or brave fast drift dives at Karang Serang in the waters near Krakatoa. Several large wrecks also lie in the Java sea close to Krakatoa and Ujung Kulon.

The best Months to dive in Jakarta

Jakarta offers diving opportunities year-round, with the best conditions typically experienced during the dry season from April to October. During these months, divers can enjoy higher visibility, often reaching up to 20 meters/66 feet, due to reduced rainfall and calmer surface conditions. Water temperatures range from 28°C–30°C/82°F–86°F, making it comfortable for diving.

From November to March, the wet season brings increased rainfall and stronger currents, which can reduce visibility and affect dive safety. While diving is still possible, these conditions may not be ideal for less experienced divers. Winds are generally mild throughout the year, but it's always advisable to check local weather reports before planning a dive.
