Indonesia / Extra Divers Nunukan
The Extra Divers dive centre is conveniently located right on the jetty at the dive centre, making it the ideal starting point for your underwater adventures. It offers everything you need for a perfect diving day, including a reception area, a drying room, an equipment room, rental gear, and wash basins for cleaning your kit. Our dive centre and boats are equipped with all essential safety features, including radio, GPS, oxygen, and first aid kits. In the unlikely event of an emergency, the nearest doctor is in Berau, where a decompression chamber is also expected to be operational from autumn 2025. All our divemasters and instructors are first aid trained. Just a few steps from the dive centre, the spectacular house reef stretches for 4 kilometres along the island, offering you a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant underwater world.
Diving/Dive spots
You can dive directly on the house reef, which features an impressive drop-off that reveals new sights at every metre. You will be conveniently dropped off by boat at your chosen entry point and picked up at the end of your dive, making for a relaxed and enjoyable experience.
Some of the legendary dive sites in the area include Sangalaki, Kakaban, and the thrilling Big Fish Country drift channel, which are available as half-day or full-day excursions. These sites offer an incredible variety of marine life, from fascinating macro creatures to massive schools of fish and stunning coral formations.
For the truly adventurous, there is a completely unexplored atoll just 40 minutes south of the island, waiting to be discovered.
Important Note: Due to the remote location of the resort, guests are required to have valid travel health and diving insurance (e.g., DAN, aqua med, or similar) and must present proof of this upon arrival.
Team & Education
The dive centre and resort are run under the experienced management of Beat Waefler. The international team speaks German, English, and Indonesian, and offers training according to SSI and PADI standards, from Open Water Diver to Divemaster.
