Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Cookie Monster offers some of Sulawesi's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Cookie Monster, in Sulawesi, gets its name from the sheer volume of nudibranchs, often blue, that scatter the reef like spilled cookies. We’ve found pygmy seahorses here too, tucked into the gorgonians if you have a keen eye. This site is a macro photographer's dream, offering endless subjects for patient divers. It’s generally a relaxed dive, good for taking your time.
