Tanjung Kopi is a challenging wall and drop-off site located off Bunaken Island. The topography begins as a shallow reef at 5 metres before descending sharply into deep water, reaching depths beyond 80 metres. Divers should expect strong, shifting currents and visibility between 10 and 30 metres. Due to the significant depth and current intensity, this site is suited for advanced divers only. Boat access is required, and the use of a surface marker buoy is essential for safe surfacing. Species recorded around this area include green sea turtles, Napoleon wrasse, whitetip reef sharks, and various nudibranchs.
