Why dive here
With 131+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles, sperm whales and pufferfish - Tomajiko, Hiri Island offers some of Halmahera's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-30°C, warmest April, May, December.
Just a quick five-minute boat ride from Sulamadaha Beach, Tomajiko offers a solid wall dive off Hiri Island. It’s a good spot if you like dropping down and watching the reef unfold, with a maximum depth of around 24 meters. We’ve seen the wall absolutely draped in soft corals, their colours popping, and it often has good schools of fish passing by – think big-eye trevally and the occasional tuna. You’ll also spot plenty of bannerfish, wrasse, and sometimes even a turtle cruising past. Visibility averages about 18 meters, making it a comfortable dive for most.
