About this spot

SpaceX is an Indonesia-based dive spot that welcomes visitors throughout the year. The site has attracted a small but engaged diving community, evidenced by three shared dive videos that document conditions and marine encounters. While specific depth, visibility, and temperature data are not currently available, the year-round accessibility suggests stable diving conditions suitable for planning trips at any season. The site is not within a Marine Protected Area, making access straightforward for independent divers and operators. Current coral health monitoring indicates the area warrants attention, as bleaching conditions are being tracked. This underscores the importance of responsible diving practices—minimize contact with substrate, avoid reef damage, and follow local guidelines. Divers planning a visit should connect with local operators familiar with seasonal variations and current site conditions. The three community videos available provide real-world reference footage of typical encounters and dive profiles. Before heading out, confirm water temperature and gear requirements with local sources, and verify any access guidelines with current dive operators in the region.

  • Indonesians spent insane amounts of money, starting from building : 1. the new capital city 2. Highspeed Railway 3. Purchase of Korean KF21 4. Purchase of Dassault Aviation Rafale & Mirage 2000 aircraft, Hopefully in the future Indonesia can work on its own technology
