All about Twilight Zone dive site

Depth max
40 m
Diver level
Novice
Visibility
to 30 m
The Twilight Zone dive site is located close to the shoreline of the small Pantar Island. This dive site features a beautiful coral reef with a steep wall that goes down to 40m/131ft deep, where the sea bed is covered in black volcanic sand. The dive site has been given its name because of a number of bizarre marine creatures that can be spotted here. If they were a lot bigger (divers can use their imaginations), they could become quite frightening creatures reminiscent of things seen in the Twilight Zone movie and TV show. The Twilight Zone dive site is also interesting at night when Spanish dancers perform their incredible dance, mantis shrimp focus their independently moving eyes on divers, and snake eels come out of their burrows to start their aggressive hunting.
