Pasir Merah (Red Sand)

About this dive site

This dive site, located north of Pura Island and known as Red Sand, presents a fascinating underwater landscape. It features dramatic volcanic red sandy slopes descending to a depth of 35 meters, punctuated by bubbling gas vents originating from Gunung Maru's volcanic system. These vents permeate the seabed, creating an otherworldly environment. The area is teeming with marine life, including Nurse Sharks, Bamboo Sharks, and Mandarinfish. A variety of macro invertebrates, such as hairy shrimp, are also commonly observed here.
