Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - BMJ offers some of Sulawesi's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
BMJ offers a relaxed dive along a sloping reef in Sulawesi. We often find large schools of snapper and fusiliers here, hugging the coral bommies. It's a comfortable drift for most experience levels, without strong currents. Ideal for an easy second dive or for newer divers getting their bearings.
