Sabang

Sabang in Aceh, Indonesia, sits on the northern tip of Sumatra near the Andaman Sea. It functions as a gateway for divers exploring Indonesia’s Andaman Sea coast, with several nearby dive centers and sites reachable by local boats. The area offers sheltered, warm saltwater conditions and accessible shore and short boat dives, suitable for introductory to intermediate divers. Expect tropical reefs, coral gardens, and potential macro critters; currents are usually mild near the islands, and visibility can vary with tides. The town itself is small but services diving trips, equipment, and basic lodging, making it a practical base for day trips to nearby reefs and wrecks in the Andaman region.
