Pramuka Island is located in Thousand Island, north Jakarta and popular known as tourist place and more likely cheap diving spot for the last few years like the other island such as Tidung or Pari Island.

The history itself is so interesting and I am very happy after finally I finished their book about History and Tourism of Bandung from geological point of view.
