Banten

Banten is an administrative region on western Java, Indonesia, with access to coastal and nearshore diving along the Java Sea. The area's dive scene centers on sheltered bays and mangrove-influenced coastlines rather than large, famous sites. Marine life typically includes small schooling fish, reef-associated species around riprap and rocky nearshore habitats, and occasional pelagic appearances from passing boats. Access is convenient from Jakarta and nearby corridors, with most diving pursued as day trips from coastal towns or from the capital’s hubs.
