Shark Point, Selayar

Shark Point in Selayar, a quick boat ride from Pattumbukan Harbour, gives you that true Komodo drift feel, but with a bit more of a wild card. We love a site where you really earn your sightings, and here, you might be finning hard against the current for a bit before you hit the sweet spot. It's a slope of sand and reef that drops to around 27 meters, loaded with impressive sea fans and soft corals – the kind that truly glow when the sun hits them right. Our favourite moments here are always spent scanning the blue for those bigger pelagics. White tip and black tip reef sharks are regulars, but we've had awesome encounters with eagle rays gliding by, and the sheer scale of the schooling jacks can be mesmerizing. Keep an eye out for Napoleon wrasse, too, they’re often cruising the reef edge. This site suits divers who are comfortable with current and ready to work for their dive; it’s not a sit-back-and-watch kind of place, it’s an active exploration.
