Kakaban - Kalimantan


Nearby Kakaban Island is a fascinating dive spot.The island is a coral atoll that has been uplifted by geological forces,turning the lagoon into a land locked lake with a salt concentration about two thirds that of the ocean.The brackish lake in the central part of the island is a unique biological paradise which holds many species of marine life,most notably four species of the stingless jellyfish.To dive in these islands off Kalimantan's eastern coast,flights are available from Jakarta to Balikpapan.From there,a small plane takes you to Tanjung Berau where you will transported by speedboat to the dive location.
