Siko is a small coastal locality in North Maluku, Indonesia. It sits along the Molukka Sea (part of the Indian Ocean) and is more of a gateway point to nearby dive areas than a dive hub itself. With limited local diving infrastructure and a few reachable offshore sites, most divers access more established sites by boat from larger nearby centers. The region offers warm tropical waters and typical reef associations for nearby offshore reefs, though there are no large, centralized dive operations right in the village. If you’re planning a dive trip, use Siko as a base for short sessions or as a starting point to reach better-known sites along the North Maluku coastline.
