Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Dragonet Housereef offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
We’ve spent many a late afternoon settling into the soft sand and rubble of Dragonet Housereef, usually around 16m. It’s a gentle, easy dive, perfect for newer divers or those who just want to chill out. We often spot pipefish, juvenile batfish, and, if you’re patient, the resident dragonets performing their mating dance just before sunset. It's a relaxed macro spot more than a big fish encounter.
