Drop a line to Hilde at Nomad Divers. She’s given me good advice on seasonal diving on Bangka.

Just so there is no confusion, this thread is not about Bangka, South Sumatra, outside of one way-off post. The Bangka Island we love for diving is just off North Sulawesi.For all. Listen to me. I am the manager of a tour agent in Belitung. Bangka and Belitung are two different islands. Even though we are still in the same province. I try to provide a little knowledge about Belitung. The most frequently visited spot is to the east of Lengkuas Island. There is a shipwreck at a depth of 15 meters. Ocean currents often occur in several spots. December to early January is the west wind season. and quite fast. visibility this month is not good. but there is still a possibility that you will have good luck. About the crocodile? There has never been any news of divers being attacked by crocodiles until now. They live at the mouth of the river. The attack occurred on local residents who were fishing and looking for shrimp in the river. Not at sea. Sharks are rarely found here. There are several hoax news about the presence of crocodiles on Tanjung Tinggi beach. In fact it was in Bawaka, Homeland, Australia.

If you are afraid of wild animals. I think don't make diving your hobby. A walk in the city mall is better for you.

Thank You. Greetings, scary skin.
