Turtle Trafic (Payung Payung)
★★★★☆
(93)
In the middle of the west coast of Maratua Islands and about 45 minutes from Nabucco Islands. Excellent dive site to see turtles. Best time to dive is at low tide when the turtles are sleeping. Sloping reef down to 30 meters. Dive with the left shoulder to the reef.
Special sightings: sleeping turtles, peacock shrimp, macro life such as nudibranchs, and hard and soft corals.
