Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Bomba Reef offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Bomba Reef in Sulawesi is one of those spots that often gets overlooked, but we think it’s worth a dip. The site is home to a really healthy collection of staghorn corals, forming sprawling gardens that stretch out across the reef. You’ll find bright pink anemonefish tucked into their homes and plenty of small reef fish darting amongst the branches, like the tiny yellow-red pygmygobies if you look closely enough. It’s a comfortable, easy dive, good for getting your bearings or for a leisurely second tank of the day.
