Apollo
Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Apollo offers some of Sulawesi's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Apollo, off Sulawesi, is one of those sites we always enjoy for its reliability. It’s not going to blow your mind with massive pelagics or walls of soft coral, but it’s a consistently rewarding macro dive. We’ve spent many a good hour here with our noses to the reef, finding pygmy gobies tucked into coral branches and often spotting dwarf morays peeking out from crevices. Look carefully for the blotchfin scorpionfish, they’re masters of disguise here. It’s a comfortable dive, usually with gentle currents, making it perfect for photographers or anyone who just wants to take their time and really observe the smaller stuff.
