Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Honeycomb offers some of Sulawesi's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Honeycomb, on Sulawesi’s west coast, offers a solid wall dive. It’s a north-south facing stretch, textured with porous corals and a good spread of sponges. We’ve seen a lot of those pink *cupressina* hydroids here, which add a nice splash of color. The real draw, though, is the fish. Keep an eye out for blue-headed tilefish, they often swim in pairs and are pretty distinct with their bright blue heads and yellow bodies. If you’re lucky, you might even spot a sailfin goby tucked into a rock ledge. It’s a good spot for divers who enjoy taking their time to seek out the smaller, less common inhabitants.
