Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Baulu Reef offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Baulu Reef, off Sulawesi, offers a pleasant drift over a mixed reef. We found decent coverage of Staghorn and Anacropora corals, creating good shelter for smaller creatures. Keep an eye out for hooded oysters tucked into crevices and the occasional half-round cardita. While not the most dramatic reef we’ve seen, it’s a good spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re keen on macro life, with the currents often gentle enough for a leisurely pace.
