    Helga Point is a spot we often suggest if you're looking for something a bit quieter in Sulawesi. The reef is mostly a gentle slope, dotted with big tables of coral and plenty of branching staghorn that provide shelter for smaller critters. Keep an eye out for the Bluespotted Shrimpgoby, they’re usually scooting around the sand flats near the seagrass beds. It’s a good, easy dive, perfect for a relaxed afternoon exploring without strong currents to worry about.
