Kenteng Wreck
A pinisi cargo wreck with reef around it. The wreck is split into two sections, and the dive can continue along the coral and the reef edge before the safety stop.

From coral gardens to shipwrecks, Karimunjawa gives us several very different ways to spend a dive. The exact site is chosen around conditions and diver experience, not a rigid calendar.
- Kenteng Wreck, up to about 25 m
- Indonor Wreck, around 100 m long
- Coral reefs and island surface intervals
- Sites chosen on the day

Sites we regularly consider
Indonor Wreck
A much larger wreck, approximately 100 m long. It is planned according to conditions, certification and diver experience, and normally requires an earlier departure.
Gleyang
A reef option often paired with an island surface interval. Expect coral reef scenery and reef fish, with marine-life sightings changing from dive to dive.
Cemara and Gosong Cemara
Reef diving around the Cemara area, useful for relaxed coral-focused plans when sea conditions fit. Cemara Kecil is a favorite for combining a reef dive with an island lunch.
Menjangan Kecil, Burung and other reefs
Additional reef options give the team flexibility to plan around wind, currents, visibility and the group’s experience.
A note about dive sites: the sea has the last word. Specific sites cannot be guaranteed and may change based on weather, currents, sea conditions, certification and diver experience. Our team confirms the best plan for the day.
What might you see?
Common encounters can include turtles, reef fish, blue-spotted stingrays, electric clams and nudibranchs. Sharks and larger pelagic life are possible but uncommon in Karimunjawa, so we do not sell the day around a promised animal sighting.
Dive site questions

Is Indonor suitable for every diver?
No. Indonor Wreck planning depends on conditions, certification and diver experience.
Are sharks common in Karimunjawa?
