    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Batu Punteng is a solid wall dive off Sulawesi, dropping deep and usually offering a gentle drift. You’ll find healthy hard corals clinging to the slopes, with schools of fusiliers and snapper hanging out in the blue. It’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive, or for newer divers getting comfortable with currents. Keep an eye out for reef sharks patrolling the deeper sections.
