Why dive here
With 131+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - Mimmas Point offers some of Halmahera's richest reef diving. Water ranges 28-30°C, warmest May, November, December.
Point Guirnard sits tucked inside the headland, making for a reliably mellow dive. We often hit it as a second tank, a nice, easy drift along a sloping reef that maxes out around 21m. You’ll find some lovely coral formations here, with plenty of nooks to poke into for critters like candy basslets or perhaps a mouse cone. Keep an eye out for black coral as you go, and in the shallower sections, there are often schooling round scad. It’s a great spot for snorkelers too, and visibility generally holds around 22m, making it an easy-going dive for just about anyone.
