Best for intermediate divers, 35-15m, boat entry, moderate current.
Nusaulang is a boat-access reef dive in Indonesia featuring depths between 15 and 35 metres. The site is characterised by moderate currents that require solid buoyancy control and constant awareness of drift. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres. Divers should be cautious of sharp coral and rock structures, as well as boat traffic when surfacing. Night diving is available, providing an opportunity to observe nocturnal activity on the reef. Given the potential for currents to strengthen quickly, divers must monitor their position relative to the reef and deploy an SMB before ascending. This site is suited for intermediate divers.

Keep an eye on current direction before descending, as it can shift and push you toward sections of sharp coral or rock. Confirm boat traffic patterns with your operator before entering the water, particularly if night diving.
Fly to Sorong (SOQ), then take a ferry or speedboat to Waisai on Waigeo Island, followed by a resort speedboat transfer.
