CoDo Reef
Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - CoDo Reef offers some of Sulawesi's richest cave diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
CoDo Reef gives you a good mix of everything, starting with a lively slope that gradually turns into a proper wall dive. We've seen eagle rays cruise by here, often out in the blue, and there's usually a shark or two patrolling the deeper sections if you keep an eye out. The corals are pretty healthy along the wall, lots of vibrant soft corals clinging to the rock, which makes for some nice photography. It's a site that's forgiving enough for newer divers comfortable with depth, but still interesting enough for those of us who've been around a while.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
