    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Ihana sits just a couple of minutes from the resorts along the Sulawesi coastline, making it a very convenient spot. It’s a long, shore-hugging reef, perfect for a relaxed dive, especially if you’re newer to diving. We often start in the shallow, protected sandy patch, which is a fantastic place to ease in. You’ll find a surprising amount of small stuff here, from pygmy gobies to the occasional dwarf moray peeking out, and we’ve even spotted juvenile yellow snappers schooling. Deeper, the coral reef comes alive with chromis and wrasse darting between the soft corals. With a max depth of 14m, it’s a calm, easy dive, offering decent visibility, usually around 14m. While we wouldn't call it a big pelagic site, it's a solid choice for a laid-back afternoon exploring reef life.
