Pulau Weh, at the northernmost tip of Sumatra, sits at the confluence of the Andaman Sea and the Indian Ocean. This results in strong currents, excellent visibility, and dramatic volcanic underwater landscapes, with a good chance of seeing larger pelagic species.

Features

Known for its volcanic underwater topography, including canyons, pinnacles, and bubbling geothermal vents. The strong currents attract schools of jacks, barracudas, and occasionally manta rays and sharks. A great off-the-beaten-path destination.
