Sangalaki Liveaboards in 2009

Based on the success of the Panunee’s tour of duty of Sangalaki, Derawan and Maratua during the 2008 season, the 2009 season is shaping up to be just as exciting.

Enjoying increased attention from mainstream divers, the 6 night Panunee dive safari, which takes in the whole region, is fast gaining popularity. Put it down to the pelagic action around Maratua, or Kakaban’s jellyfish lake, but Panunee’s liveaboard adventure is all the buzz.

Equipped to accommodate up to 20 divers, Panunee is a great charter option too, cruising, as you would, along the rugged coast of Borneo, just you and yours.

Getting to Sangalaki is now also virtually hassle free, thanks to increased flight frequencies between Balikpapan and Tarakan.

Join Panunee for 4 trips only, sailing Derawan – Sangalaki – Kakaban – Maratua.
