House Reef Selayar Dive Resort

The House Reef at Selayar Dive Resort is one of those places we genuinely appreciate for its sheer convenience and consistent charm. You literally just step off the jetty and you're in, no boat trip needed, which is a massive plus when you're feeling lazy after a big breakfast. We often find ourselves dropping in for a casual afternoon dive or a quick night dive when we don't want the fuss of a boat. From the moment you descend, a limestone wall drops away to about 23 meters. It’s absolutely smothered in gorgonian sea fans, soft corals, and sponges. You’ll see big clusters of mushroom corals and bowl corals, providing plenty of nooks and crannies for reef fish. We've often spotted big groupers lurking in the shadows and inquisitive snappers darting around. Anemonefish are everywhere, of course, and if you’re patient, you might even catch a glimpse of a leatherback sea turtle cruising by. The current is usually mild here, making it a very relaxed dive. Visibility hovers around 17 meters, which is more than enough to soak in the colours. It’s a perfect spot for divers who want easy access to a vibrant wall or for photographers looking for an unhurried session with plenty of subjects.
