Aw Shucks, in Sulawesi, delivers a solid muck diving experience. We've often found frogfish here, along with various nudibranchs and small octopus species tucked into the sand. It’s an ideal spot for macro photographers looking for those tiny, elusive subjects. Beginners might find it less visually dramatic, but experienced eyes will appreciate the hunt.
