DIVE SITE
Pantai Parigi
The only white sand muck site, this bay has exceptional healty and dense coral cover in the shallows, then a gentle white sand slope that is a good alternative to the predominantly black sand in the Strait. "Pantai" means beach and "Parigi" means well, so this site is named after the fresh water well in the village and the nearby beach.
