Tanjung Gurita

★★★★☆ (81)

Tanjung Gurita, meaning “Octopus Cape,“ was named after local fishermen discovered many octopuses here. While they’re rare now, you might still spot one hiding in the reef. The dive features a small cave at the start, followed by a reef slope, and ends with a mini wall—an ideal mix of topography.

A macro photography heaven with Glass Anemone Shrimp, Anemone Crab, Whip Coral Shrimp, Arrow Crab, Leaf Scorpion Fish, Emperor Shrimp, Pontohi Seahorse, and Lembeh Sea Dragon.
