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 sandar offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Batu Sandar, off Sulawesi, is a solid drift dive where we often find ourselves cruising over sloping reefs. You'll see plenty of schooling reef fish here, along with the occasional reef shark patrolling the deeper sections. It's a good choice for divers who enjoy a relaxed drift and aren't chasing big pelagic action.
