Seemingly floating in the Gorom Islands of Indonesia, within the breathtaking Sunda Banda Seascape, the tiny and unusual uninhabited landmass of Pulau Koon is an other-worldly sight. A tiny head of green sits atop a vast encircling sandbank just underwater, which plunges into clean blue depths. The dive sites around the island are the real treasure here - filled with a lively and dazzling array of bright corals, fish, hammerhead sharks, manta rays, sea snakes, and more. The volcanic sites provide a spawning ground for such a variety of fish that this area is nicknamed ‘fish kitchen’. This Marine Protected area is ecologically important and programs are currently being developed by several organisations such as the WWF to further its care. History enthusiasts will be interested to know that the island was crucial in defense against Dutch colonialists.
