Ombak di Karimunjawa tergolong rendah dan jinak, dibatasi oleh pantai yang kebanyakan adalah pantai pasir putih halus.
Bagi Anda penggemar diving dan mempunyai jiwa avonturir, disarankan untuk mencoba wisata selam yang satu ini. Berbagai ketegangan akan Anda temukan dalam sekejap. Ketika Anda mulai menyelam Anda bahkan akan disambut oleh bangkai kapal yang telah lama karam di bawah permukaan laut. Suasananya terasa sangat sunyi dan misterius, pilar-pilar besi kapal terlihat berkarat seiring berjalannya waktu, lalu banyak juga terumbu karang (soft coral) berwarna-warni yang sangat indah berjuang untuk hidup dan tumbuh terus.
Bangkai kapal ini terlihat terbelah dua, layaknya bangkai kapal dalam film Titanic yang kemegahannya terkenal di seluruh penjuru dunia. Panjang kapal itu hampir menyamai kapal-kapal fery yang ada di Indonesia. Saat melakukan diving dan melihat bangkai kapal di bawah permukaan laut, Anda akan merasa seperti Kate Hudson dan Matthew McConaughey dalam film Fool’s Gold saat mereka mencari harta karun. Wow!
Yang lebih menarik lagi, selain ber-diving ria dan menaklukkan berbagai tantangan, Anda juga bisa mendapatkan pengetahuan sejarah tentang Indonesia. Konon sebuah kapal pengangkut batu bara milik armada Belanda karam di perairan tersebut sekitar 60 tahun silam. Cerita yang beredar menyebutkan kapal tersebut karam karena sang nahkoda menyangka Kepulauan Karimunjawa adalah pesisir pantai Semarang, Jawa Tengah. Dasar pantai-pantai di Karimunjawa yang relatif rendah membuat kapal tersebut kandas dan akhirnya karam.
Wreck dive ini terdapat di Pulau Kemojan, salah satu dari 27 pulau yang terdapat di Karimunjawa. Dan anda bisa berenang bersama ikan hiu di salah satu pulaunya. Jangan lewatkan tantangan yang satu ini, cause it’s full of challenge!
Karimunjawa, also known as Karimun Java, a hidden paradise of Java, is an archipelago of 27 islands north of Semarang and off the coast of Central Java. The main island is Karimun and the second island is Kemujan. The two islands are like twins, just side by side and often mistaken one of another. Karimunjawa name literally means a stone’s throw from Java in Javanese.
This place will be known by savvy travelers of Java that would like to find a place to get some beautiful beaches and sea without needing to leave to other parts of Indonesia. Many locals will also introduce you to this place, the pride of Central Java for having their very own white sand beaches and clear blue sea.
Well Karimunjawa very different to Bali and other tourist destinations. Here is still very new to the foreign tourist game (for now!) While diving with equipment and guides can be arranged by the hotels, the snorkeling is just some of the best to be seen. Its like sticking your head into a tropical aquarium. The waters are warm and very safe even for the kiddies to try out some snorkeling when they are not building sandcastles. A glass bottom boat trip is available and as the coral reefs are only 20 meters from the shore, you can spend hours taking it all in. Across from the harbor there is the shark pools where you are welcome to swim with the half a dozen black reef sharks. For the fishing enthusiast you will not be disappointed ! Rent a local fishing boat for the day for around $40 which includes fuel and explore the many close by islands or tie up on a reef and be ready to pull in some good size fish !
Karimunjawa is fast becoming very well known for is unbelievable diving on pristine reefs and some of the many ship wreaks accessible to both novice and experienced divers.
Karimunjawa is likely to soon become the new Green Eco Tourism hot spot and today if you need some equipment such as mountain bikes already available, but the hiking is superb with wonderful views of the surrounding islands.
