Jurassic Point, Indonesia

By Roger Munns (Adapted from "passport to diving the world")

Well Known For :

Jurassic Point is a turbocharged rollercoaster ride.

Jurassic Point is a turbocharged rollercoaster ride with the biggest bony fish in the ocean thrown in for good measure. Drop in on a colourful sloping reef, which becomes a vertical wall that stops at a plateau at 40m. You'll experience wild temperature variations, with thermoclines as steep as 8°C in the space of a few metres. Stingrays, tuna, and giant trevally all hang out in this pelagic hotspot, but the main event is still to come. As you sweep around the corner, you're confronted by mola mola, or oceanic sunfish, being cleaned by schools of bannerfish. Bring a safety sausage as you can clock up some serious mileage while you relax on your safety stop after the show.
