Their existence has been a threat either from natural disturbance or human activities. These conditions mean that all of the sea turtle species in Indonesia are now protected by the government and globally the sea turtle is classified by conservation status in IUCN red list. The [Anambas Foundation](https://www.anambasfoundation.org/) is working hard to protect eggs and to release baby turtles once hatched. Last month over 80 baby turtles were safely hatched and released into the lagoon. ###### Where to find them? Often seen around the end of the Jetty and also around Turtle Beach. See here for our guide to turtles on Bawah Reserve. ## 2) Bumphead Parrotfish   ![bumphead parrot fish](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bumphead_parrot_fish.jpg?width=800&name=bumphead_parrot_fish.jpg) Travelling in large schools, the colourful Bumphead Parrotfish use their head to “bump” against coral to break it into small pieces to make it easier to eat. They can grow up to 4 ft long. Schools of 30-plus Bumphead Parrotfish can be found around many dive sites on Bawah Reserve but you’re more likely to get the shot early in the morning when the fish are calmer. ###### Where to find them? Look for splashing. Often found between Muerba and Bawah.   ## 3) Eagle Ray    ![Eagle Ray ](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Eagle%20Ray%20.jpg?width=716&name=Eagle%20Ray%20.jpg) Most commonly found in shallow coastal waters on reefs or in bays down to depths of 30m.  Generally shy, Eagle Rays are wary of divers and are difficult to approach. However, it is considered potentially dangerous to humans due to the venomous tail spines that can inflict serious wounds - so watch from a distance. ###### Where to find them? Around the shoreline of Bawah. Move slowly they swim away quickly!   ## 4) Moray Eel   ![moray eel at Bawah Reserve](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/0b71d1b5-fb60-49a0-aa35-2f453fff64ae.jpg?width=1280&name=0b71d1b5-fb60-49a0-aa35-2f453fff64ae.jpg)   Moray eels open and close their mouths in a threatening looking manner!  Don’t be alarmed, it's just breathing.  We have one or two resident Moray Eels on Bawah Reserve to look out for. ###### Where to find them? Between Sanggah and Elang Islands   ## 5) Black Tip Reef Shark   ![black tip reef shark at Bawah Reserve Indonesia](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/072A8801.jpg?width=3000&name=072A8801.jpg)   A common sight around Bawah - Especially in shallow waters.  Completely harmless and beautiful to watch glide around the lagoon.  They eat small fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and invertebrates and love gliding around the edges of the reef.  Whilst they hunt solo, they often hang around in small groups of 2-3 - so when you spot one, look out for the rest of the group. ###### Where to find them? Often around the Jetty in shallow water, also around the Overwater Bungalows on the East and West.   \*Look out for our infamous Blue Starfish that can be seen from above and below the water, and all over the lagoons - a beautiful striking blue colour.  Often found in tropical waters and usually in shallow and sunny parts of reefs and reef fringes.   ![blue starfish at Bawah Reserve Indonesia](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/072A8381.jpg?width=3000&name=072A8381.jpg)   Book your [Bawah Scuba diving experience](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/why-diving-at-bawah-reserve-is-different-to-other-dive-locations?hsLang=en).  We have all the scuba gear, equipment and diving knowledge you will need for all your diving and snorkelling needs.     ##### **[Download Brochure](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hubfs/Underwater%20Images/Bawah-Reserve-diving-brochure%202022.pdf?hsLang=en) for more information or enquire below: ** **[![Start Your Journey](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/5414923/83d92726-0f09-4ce4-b095-10175d3646f2.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/5414923/83d92726-0f09-4ce4-b095-10175d3646f2)**     - Share - - - [mailto:?subject=[SUBJECT]&body=Check%20out%20this%20site%20https://blog.bawahreserve.com/top-5-marine-life-to-spot-diving-snorkeling-on-bawah-reserve](mailto:?subject=[SUBJECT]&body=Check%20out%20this%20site%20https://blog.bawahreserve.com/top-5-marine-life-to-spot-diving-snorkeling-on-bawah-reserve) - [Previous](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/turtles?hsLang=en) [![](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hubfs/Blog%20Images/Turtles%20at%20Bawah%20Hero.jpg)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/turtles?hsLang=en) - [Next](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-our-seaplane?hsLang=en) [![](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hubfs/DSCF3694.jpg)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-our-seaplane?hsLang=en) Content Title Description < Previous page Next page > ### CATEGORIES - [Resort (60)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/resort) - [Sustainability (45)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/sustainability) - [Wellbeing (45)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/wellbeing) - [Experiences (28)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/experiences) - [Travel Essentials (25)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/travel-essentials) - [Food and Drink (17)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/food-and-drink) - [Recipes (14)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/recipes) - [Diving (10)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/diving) - [Honeymoon (7)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/honeymoon) - [Christmas and New Year (6)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/christmas-and-new-year) - [Weddings (6)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/weddings) - [Activities (2)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/activities) - [Families (2)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/families) - [Group Travel (2)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/group-travel) - [Marriage Proposal (2)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/marriage-proposal) - [romance (1)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/romance) See all ### Tags - [Resort (60)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/resort) - [Sustainability (45)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/sustainability) - [Wellbeing (45)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/wellbeing) - [Experiences (28)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/experiences) - [Travel Essentials (25)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/travel-essentials) - [Food and Drink (17)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/food-and-drink) - [Recipes (14)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/recipes) - [Diving (10)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/diving) - [Honeymoon (7)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/honeymoon) - [Christmas and New Year (6)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/christmas-and-new-year) - [Weddings (6)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/weddings) - [Activities (2)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/activities) - [Families (2)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/families) - [Group Travel (2)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/group-travel) - [Marriage Proposal (2)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/marriage-proposal) - [romance (1)](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/romance) See all Experience true wellbeing at bawah reserve [![LEARN MORE](https://hubspot-no-cache-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/5414923/a4139ddd-711b-4792-bfda-72bd000003da.png)](https://hubspot-cta-redirect-na2-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/redirect/5414923/a4139ddd-711b-4792-bfda-72bd000003da) ### you may also like [Wellbeing](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/tag/wellbeing) [View Post](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/the-art-of-doing-nothing-slow-travel-at-bawah-reserve?hsLang=en) 9 min ## [The Art of Doing Nothing: Slow Travel at Bawah Reserve](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/the-art-of-doing-nothing-slow-travel-at-bawah-reserve?hsLang=en) At some point in the past decade or two, the travel industry discovered that 'wellness'...
