Why dive here
With 131+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - Igo Nyoga offers some of Halmahera's richest cave diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest April, May, December.
Igo Nyoga sits a short boat ride from Kusu Island, offering a gently sloping reef that maxes out around 20 metres. We often find strong currents here, so it’s a drift dive for sure, but that usually means good pelagic action. The real draw is the shallows, absolutely packed with coral, particularly impressive stands of staghorn. Keep an eye out for Blacktip Reef Sharks patrolling the blue, and if you’re lucky, a Bumphead Parrotfish munching on the reef. It’s a lovely site for a relaxed drift, especially if you appreciate dense coral coverage and a chance at some bigger fish.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
