Description

Pandan Pandan Island is encircled by fringing reefs which are largely intact. Just a stone's throw away from the mainland, be mesmerized by the variety of corals and marine life. You may stumble upon grouper, squids, baby barracudas and snappers. If lady luck is on your side, you may also be greeted by playful dolphins or mother turtles.

Be among the first few who dive in the waters of Pandan Pandan bay. Relatively new leisure yet largely unexplored dive sites. It is suitable for rookie divers to widen their skills while enjoying the unique fringing reef. For seasoned dive enthusiasts, Pandan Pandan bay is also a promising excursion for macro divers.
