History
Located on the north coast of the 'Bird's head' peninsula used to be a major airbase during Mac Arthur WWII campaign to regain the Philippines. Remains of jetties, pontoons and other hardware can still be seen on the otherwise quiet islands, inhabited by just a few families tending their coconut groves. The wrecks underwater are far more interesting for divers, as they are home to some fair-sized groupers and other large reef dwellers.
