Yenbekwan
Yenbekwan is a coastal locale in Southwest Papua, Indonesia, with access to the Halmahera Sea in the Indian Ocean. The area supports a modest diving scene via nearby centers and sites around coral reefs and rocky substrates typical of the Halmahera region. Since the city itself has limited on-site diving infrastructure, most diving activity centers on nearby offshore reefs and accessible shore dives, making it a gateway for divers exploring Halmahera’s coastline. If you’re visiting, plan day trips from local bases to reach the best reef patches and potential macro life along the shallow drop-offs, while being mindful of local currents and water conditions.
