About This Site
North of Pura Island and known as Red Sand in English, this dive site features unique volcanic red sandy slopes beside a 35-meter deep wall. What characterizes this spot is the bubbling gas vents from Gunung Maru's volcanic system that permeate the ground. Spotted in Pasir Merah are Nurse Sharks, Bamboo Sharks, Mandarinfish, and various macro creatures such as hairy shrimp.
