Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the suitability and bearing capacity of snorkeling and diving tourism in the regional marine conservatory in East Biluhu. The research was using survey and observation methods. The research location was divided into four observation stations. Analysis of suitability and bearing capacity was done by using the table method. The results of the study show that stations 1-3 are suitable for snorkeling tourism while station 4 is not suitable. For diving tourism, stations 1, 3, and 4 are categorized as suitable-very suitable, and station 2 is not suitable. The bearing capacity analysis shows that each station has a different capacity. This study shows that based on the suitability of the bearing capacity of snorkeling and diving tourism, the conservation area has the potential to be developed as a tourist area.
