MACHINE TRANSLATION: We reach Sabolon Kecil in just 40 minutes by boat. It offers a pleasant drift dive and a seam. At the beginning of the dive we follow the reef, then cross a sandy bottom to the seam, and finish our dive with a slight drift on a beautiful plateau.

MACHINE TRANSLATION: Various species of gorgonian and hard corals, schools of barracudas, turtles, whitetip reef sharks, moray eels, squid, sepia and bat fish.
