This study aimed to determine mapped of the substrate (habitat) of the bottom shallow waters at Tayando District, Tual City with Landsat 8 imagery satellite. We used transformation blue and green bands with depth invariant index algorithm Y = ln Band 1 + (ki/kj) ln Band 2 on mapped the basic characteristics of the bottom shallow water. The classification of the imagery transformation by using shallow marine water habitat classification scheme based on color pallet and the result showed there were five classes on bottom substrate at Tayando District, those were sand, sand mixed coral, dead coral, coral reefs and seagrass.
