Diving with Extra Divers Nunukan is a relaxed experience. The gear is brought on board, so all you have to do is sit down, put on your gear, and roll off the back of the boat. One minor drawback is that the edge of the boat where you have to sit is very narrow and uncomfortable. This makes it difficult to keep your balance, especially if the skipper decides to maneuver the boat into position while everyone is already sitting on the edge. As soon as you’re in the water, you’ll immediately forget this discomfort and can start enjoying all the beauty underwater.
In the morning, there are usually two dives at one of the many house reef sites. In between, you’ll return to the dive center, where free coffee, tea, and water are available. In the afternoon, there’s also an opportunity to dive, and a night dive is among the options. In addition to the house reef sites, you can also take a half-day trip to the neighboring island of Karang Muaras or to the Big Fish Channel, and you can take a day trip to Sangalaki and Kakaban. The latter is definitely highly recommended. At Sangalaki, you have a chance to spot manta rays, and at Kakaban, you can walk along wooden boardwalks through the jungle to a brackish-water lake to snorkel among the non-stinging jellyfish.
The dive center is fully equipped: plenty of rinse tanks, a separate camera room, changing benches, a large area to dry your gear, and books to look up what you’ve spotted underwater.
The guides provide a thorough briefing, and underwater at the house reef sites, they keep a close eye on any changes in the current. They try to dive with the current as much as possible, which is very pleasant.
The house reef has very healthy coral. Vast fields of staghorn and plate coral, plenty of soft coral, and beautiful, large gorgonians. The fish are incredibly abundant and colorful. If you dive deep, you have a chance to spot sharks and rays. There’s also plenty to see in shallower waters—large creatures like sea turtles and scorpionfish, but also, and especially, small creatures like nudibranchs and anemonefish in all sorts of varieties. It doesn’t matter at all if you dive at the same house reef spot multiple times, because the changing currents mean every dive is different, and there’s something new to discover every time.

Very beautiful dive sites with intact coral, sometimes with stronger currents

We had some great dives. However, they were all very deep dives—30 to 40+ meters—which didn’t always match the pre-dive briefing. That’s fine as long as you know what to expect, and it has the added bonus of a chance to see leopard sharks and hammerhead sharks :).

Our guide seemed a bit unsure, which meant we sometimes found ourselves swimming against the current for long stretches without, it seemed to us, any real purpose.

The underwater world here is exactly as nature originally intended it to be. An intact house reef with every kind of fish—large and small—that the sea has to offer. As you surface above the reef tops, it feels like you’re diving through aquariums. Simply sensational ...

The dive sites are accessible in no time and offer plenty of variety and beautiful dives. The dive center regularly offers trips to more remote sites. The boats are in good condition and well-maintained. However, for larger groups, they don’t offer much space to spread out. There’s also no restroom.

It was a pity that there was no information when we went to distant dive sites that were much shorter from Nabucco, especially as it was known that we would change to Nabucco.

Super dive sites, very varied and beautiful animals seen. After the misunderstanding in Muaras, everything was great and the two guides are a treasure.

Due to the occupancy of 5 - 8 divers, it was a very relaxed dive. There were no other divers at the dive sites.

Very good guides, friendly, helpful and with a good macro eye. You regularly see large animals on every dive, an absolute dream destination with a high level of comfort and very well organized.....

Mainly steep walls. Mostly weak to very strong currents.

Dive sites very nice, surprisingly we had few turtles (Nabucco significantly more) but of course no points are deducted for that. The dive groups were always small, which was always taken into account, and Beat had always organized and planned everything perfectly with each guest. The guides always knew where there was something to see, especially with macro. Diving or many dive sites can be done directly on the house reef, which are also all approached by boat with a maximum of 5 minutes travel time. The equipment is brought back from the boat by the guides and also washed, great service
