Excellent reef dives are located on the east and north sides of the islands. Expect to encounter not only marine life treasures such as pipe fish of all varieties, frog fish of many varieties and color variations and an abundance of juvenile fish seeking sanctuary in the calm waters, but also the least shy and largest mandarin fish of all time! These brightly colored gemstones are out of their hiding places all day and are in such shallow water that they can be seen from the pier.

North of Gunung Api is a remote archipelagic atoll called Lucipara Islands. These atolls are surrounded by an ocean floor that is 13,000 feet below. Consisting of three large islands and a few small reefs that just break the surface, the islands offer divers vertical walls and visibility of over 120 feet with very mild currents.

Gunung Api - is a volcano, the summit breaks the ocean surface by 800 feet, but its base on the ocean floor about 13,000 feet below. The island created by the volcano is 120 miles from the closest landing and is therefore home to the reef fish that populate its steep drifts and walls, occasional viewing of pelagics, and extraordinarily a myriad population of banded and olive sea snakes. It really is a unique place that never ceases to amaze divers.
