The Channel/Fish Soup Dive Site in

Maumere

Located on Pangabatang Island, the landscape of this dive site is filled with beautiful coral gardens, with huge Gorgonian sea fans as the main attraction. This channel might only be 2 kilometers wide, but the currents here can be powerful, so it is only aimed at advanced divers.

Eagle rays, marbled electric rays, cowtail stingrays, and whitetip sharks are often found alongside the sandy bottom between the corals. This dive site is not only for big fish, but also critters like whiskered pipefish, nudibranchs, mantis shrimp, crocodile fish, leaf fish, and cuttlefish can be seen regularly when diving in The Channel.
