The Sunda Straits, the historic water way between Sumatra and Java, is also home tosome of the most remote and pristine areas left in Western Indonesia Through these straits the Indian Ocean meets the Pacific and as a result this region is enormously rich in marine life. Combined with a diverse range of bottom topography this area presents the diver with wide range of diving options from deep walls and towering pinnacles formed by past violent volcanic eruptions, to soft and hard coral coastal reefs and isolated coral cays.
The visibility is fair to good, 10 to 20 meters. Schools of Moorish idols and other reef fish inhabit the area, and one occasionally sees reef white tip sharks. The bright colors emperor angelfish stand out starkly against the background of dark rock. On the south end of the site, the slab scenery is interrupted growths of stag horn and table Acropora, some with blue-tinted fins. Around the rocks to the east grow an astonishing number of orange fan coral gorgonians. The smallest covered three square meters, and the largest, five square meters. The visibility drops here, because of the sandy bottom. Reef black tip sharks patrol
Karang Serang Rocks:
These rocks, painted white by the sea birds, mark the site of a dive off Anak Krakatau. The underwater scenery consists of large blocks of volcanic rock, seemingly sheered off by the blast. The cracked and sharp edged rocks make a west-facing submarine cliff look like the ruin of an ancient Greek temple. In the crevices of the rock, coral growth is beginning.

Rakata:
This site, off the southeast end of Rakata, offers a nice drift dive. The steep sides of the island prevent access.The depths here are modest, to just 25 meters, and the gentle current carries you east. The underwater scenery is, again, slabs of volcanic rock. A decent variety of small reef fish populates the shallower depths, and some of the crevices have been claimed by moray eels. Green turtles are numerous at this site. In the 19th century, before it exploded, Krakatau island was a common stop for sailors, who loaded up on turtles. An unusual feature of this dive are the many underwater trees, which have been cast from the island cliffs by landslides. These attract large schools of fusiliers and jacks.
