Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Candi City offers some of Sulawesi's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Candi City might not be the flashiest name in Sulawesi, but it's a solid little site that delivers some surprising finds. We usually drop in here expecting a nice, easy dive, and it rarely disappoints. Keep your eyes peeled for those Blood-stained frog shells – they’re masters of disguise, but once you spot one, you’ll be amazed. It's also a great spot for chromis fans; the Twinspot and Dark-fin varieties are everywhere, schooling in thick clouds. This is a site we'd suggest for divers who appreciate the smaller stuff and don't mind taking it slow.
