DIVE SITE
Pulau Putus
Inside a bay is a beautiful coral and sponge garden in sheltered conditions. The scenery itself is the highlight, though larger rays – devil and eagle - are seen from time to time. "Pulau" means island and "Putus" means cut, and the dive site is named this because the island area near the dive site is split up or "cut".
