Kepulauan Seribu Regency

Kepulauan Seribu Regency offers a compact, easily accessible gateway to tropical Indonesian diving just north of Jakarta. The region comprises a string of coral-fringed islets and reefs in shallow, calm seas with warm tropical conditions. Typical dives feature vibrant hard corals, countable reef fish, and occasional macro life, with good visibility compared with the broader Indonesian seas. Access is largely via slow to moderate boat hops from the capital, making it suitable for weekend trips or short liveaboard extensions from Jakarta. The area is best known for shore and boat dives around its many islands, with a range of dive sites catering to recreational divers.
