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 Gila - Una Una offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Batu Gila, off Una Una, is one of those sites that earns its name. It’s a bit crazy to find, a deep pinnacle that really starts showing itself at 26 meters, then just keeps going. We’ve certainly had our share of strong currents here, so it’s not one for the timid. But if you hit it right, the visibility is usually excellent, around 20 meters, letting you appreciate the massive tube and barrel sponges. Keep an eye out for Deep Reef Chromis and those tiny Yellow-red Pygmygobies tucked away. We’ve heard the whispers of hammerheads deeper down, around 60 meters, but haven't been lucky enough to see one ourselves. This site is best for experienced divers comfortable with deeper profiles and a bit of a workout.
