Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Depan Kampung offers some of Sulawesi's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Depan Kampung, meaning “In front of the village,” sits on the southeast side of the island. It’s a good choice for an easy drift. We usually start our dive on the western wall, letting the current carry us along. You’ll see plenty of pyramid butterflyfish, black damsels, and juvenile redtooth triggerfish here, often swimming in big groups. Neon and yellow dash fusiliers are constantly flitting past, and sometimes you’ll spot black and white banded sea snakes winding through the soft dendronephthya corals. It's a nice, relaxed drift with a decent amount of fish action, perfect for a chill afternoon dive.
