Turtle Traffic Diving - Indonesia, Indonesia

Turtle Traffic is a charming dive site in the Derawan Islands of East Kalimantan that lives up to its name with an extraordinary concentration of green sea turtles. The shallow reef between 5 and 15 meters is home to one of Indonesia's densest turtle populations, with dozens of turtles commonly seen on a single dive—resting on coral ledges, grazing on sea grass, and visiting cleaning stations where cleaner fish attend to their shells. The healthy reef supports diverse coral formations and schools of reef fish that add color and movement to the turtle-dominated scene. The calm, sheltered conditions and shallow depths make Turtle Traffic one of the most accessible dive sites in the Derawan archipelago, suitable for beginners and snorkelers who want guaranteed turtle encounters. For underwater photographers, the density and approachability of the turtles creates exceptional portrait opportunities in warm, clear tropical water.
