About this spot

The Passage offers divers access to Indonesia's underwater biodiversity with documented species observations and community-contributed footage. The site operates outside a marine protected area, making it accessible for independent exploration. With 12 species observations recorded and 3 community videos available, you'll find reliable firsthand intel from other divers who've been there. The site maintains year-round divability, though conditions vary seasonally across Indonesia's archipelago regions. Before booking, check local dive operators for current visibility, temperature, and depth profiles specific to your travel dates. The underwater topography and marine life composition are best learned directly from recent diver reports and video documentation. Coral bleaching remains a watch-list concern in Indonesian waters, so responsible diving practices matter. Expect encounters with Indonesia's signature reef fauna, verified by the 12 species records in the site database. Community videos provide honest looks at actual conditions rather than marketing materials, giving you a realistic preview of what to expect.

  • I love your videos, but PLEASE choose some different music. This music would be great for a high speed action video, but it doesn't match the tranquil scenery.
