Tanjung Bira is home to one of Indonesia's most thrilling diving experiences: the silky shark (Carcharhinus falciformis). These graceful apex predators patrol the deeper reefs around Bira, offering divers an adrenaline-pumping yet safe encounter.
Our PADI-certified dive instructors at Mangga Lodge know the best spots and seasons to maximise your chances of seeing these magnificent creatures. The silky shark is typically 2–3 metres long.
Best Time to Dive
April through October are optimal months. Dive sites such as Shark Point (Tanjung Bira) and Kambing Island Wall are our top recommendations.
