Aceh is a coastal region at the northern tip of Sumatra, Indonesia, with access to the Andaman Sea. Diving here centers on the Andaman Sea’s tropical reefs and rich biodiversity along both the mainland coast and nearby islands such as Sabang. Expect warm tropical water, moderate currents, and visibility that varies seasonally. Diving hubs are concentrated around Sabang, with local dive centers offering macro to reef-focused sites and occasional wreck or artificial reefs in sheltered bays. The region also features freshwater ecosystems inland, but diving is primarily coastal and island-based in the saltwater zones.
