Alright, Barracuda Point in Sulawesi. It’s got a name that promises something, doesn't it? We’ve certainly spent some time finning around here, and what you’ll find is a solid dive, especially if you appreciate the more subtle beauty of a reef. We’ve logged a good number of species here, including quite a bit of staghorn coral, which creates some nice topography to explore. Keep an eye out for the bicolor nudibranchs, often tucked away, and the quick darting of Lubbock's wrasse. It’s a good spot for a relaxed drift, suitable for most divers looking for consistent reef action rather than big pelagic theatrics.
