Batu Gila - Una Una - Sulawesi

Crazy Reef kicks off with a solid wall, eventually giving way to a scatter of coral bommies on a sandy bottom. The big draw here is the sheer amount of pavona coral – it stretches out, practically blanketing the reef and drawing in the smaller fish like a magnet. We often spot anemonefish, trumpetfish, and damsels flitting around, and if you keep an eye on the blue, there’s a good chance for a turtle, maybe even a reef shark or a ray cruising past. It’s a comfortable dive, maxing out at 19m, and the 12m visibility gives you enough to take it all in without feeling overwhelmed. A good spot for a relaxed afternoon.
