DIVE SITE
TK3
An excellent muck site with a sand slope that starts at 5 meters and continues down to about 22m. A few patches of rope-sponges attracts various marinelife as well as some small coral bommies in the shallows
One of the best site for various octopus species as well as for the rare Ambon Scorpionfish.
TK 1, 2 and 3 are short for Teluk Kembahu. "Teluk" means bay and Kembahu is the name of the nearby village.
