Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Batu Bila offers some of Sulawesi's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Batu Bila gives you a relaxed dive, a nice counterpoint to some of Sulawesi's punchier drift sites. It’s a good spot for a second dive or if you're keen on finding some smaller critters amongst the coral. We typically see a lot of staghorn and branch corals here, acting as shelter for the resident common seahorses. If you take your time and really look, you might spot an orbit cockle or a snowball chama tucked away. It’s a pleasant, easy dive, perfect for photographers or those who just want to unwind.
