Pulau Babua terletak tidak jauh dari Teluk Jailolo, Halmahera Barat. Hanya membutuhkan waktu sekitar sepuluh hingga 15 menit menyeberang dengan kapal kayu, anda sudah bisa melihat pulau dengan pasir putih dan air laut yang bening hingga ke dasar di sekeliling pulau ini. Namun keindahan sesungguhnya dari Babua terletak di dalam, di bawah permukaan laut.
Located not far from Jailolo Bay, West Halmahera, it only took about ten to 15 minutes crossing to Babua Island where you can see the island, complete with white sand and clear sea water where you can even see the bottom during daylight. However, the real beauty of Babua located within, below sea level.

Ada dua spot dive di area Babua, pertama persis di area
pulau yaitu NHR 1, dinamakan NHR dari singkatan Nama Bupati Halmahera Barat,
Namto Hui Roba yang menemukan titik titik penyelaman di Jailolo. Spot pertama
penyelaman ini sangat mudah, entry dilakukan dari garis pantai yang berpasir
putih dan setelah turun ke kedalaman, sepuluh meter kemudian kita akan
menemukan wall dan menyusuri area itu. Mulai dari wall, slope hingga wall
kembali dengan kedalaman penyelaman antara 15 hingga 25 meter. Lokasi kedua
adalah Jojo Reef NHR 6, dengan mengitari terumbu karang mulai dari lima hingga
20 meter yang meliputi beberapa sisi wall
di laut Jailolo.
There are two dive spots in the area of Babua, the first is in the island area, named NHR 1, stands from Namto Hui Roba, the West Halmahera regents who found a lot of dive spots in Jailolo. This dive spot is very easy, the entry is from the sandy coastline and after going down and dive about 10 meters far, we will encounter the wall. From a depth about 15 until 25 meters, we can dive in a route of wall, slope and going back to the wall again. Meanwhile the second dive spot is the Jojo Reef which called NHR 6, with coral reefs ranging from five to 20 meters which includes some wall in the Jailolo sea.

| that's me |
Saat saya menyelam laut sedikit lebih keruh dari biasanya.
Jarak pandang sekitar 15 hingga 20 meter, padahal menurut dive guide saya, Kang
Adit, jika menyelam di saat terbaik, laut Jailolo di area Babua ini sangat
jernih.
When I dive, the visibility wasn't as good as usual. It range around 15 to 20 meters, but according to my dive guide, Kang Adit, during best season the sea around Babua island is very clear and the visibility is top notch.

| The magnificent sea anemones really look like green apple underwater |
 |
| Can you spot the orangutan crab? |
 |
| The ninja shrimp, Mantis shrimp |
Namun rupanya tidak perlu jarak pandang yang sangat luas
untuk menikmati keindahan bawah laut Jailolo. Dari wall saya sudah melihat soft
coral dan hard coral memenuhi seluruh sisi, dengan banyaknya magnificent sea
anemone yang tampak seperti apel berwarna warni di bawah laut saat
menutup, lengkap dengan anemone fish seperti jenis false clown fish.
But apparently we don't need that top notch visibility to enjoy the beauty from underwater in this area. Since first time diving along the wall, I enjoy seeing a lot of corals covered the wall. Some sea anemones catch my attention, magnificent sea anemones looks like colorful apple under the sea while the lower part is closing, forming a ball-shaped colorful beauty.
Makhluk laut unik seperti orangutan crab pun dapat ditemui
di sela sela anemon. Orangutan crab sangat kecil dan butuh kejelian untuk
menemukan kepiting kecil yang berbulu merah ini.
Unique sea creatures such as orangutans crab can be found between the anemones also. This creature is very small and it would take extra attention and focus to find this red hairy crab.

| A beautiful coral garden! |
 |
| Nudi branch, a chromodoris bullocki |
 |
| Ribbon eel |
 |
| The many-spotted sweetlips is a little bit shy and swim away |
Selanjutnya anda hanya perlu mengikuti rute penyelaman dan
menikmati kombinasi berbagai jenis koral, sea fan serta beberapa nudi branch
berwarna cerah hingga ribbon eel yang mengintip dari balik lubang. A great place to dive and enjoy underwater
world!
Then you just need to follow the dive route and enjoy the combination of different types of coral, sea fans and some brightly colored nudi branch and even ribbon eel peeking out from the hole. A great place to dive and enjoy the underwater world!
