Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Jam offers some of Sulawesi's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Jam is a good option when you want a relaxed dive with a bit of everything. We often start deep, around 20m, exploring a series of reef patches, but the real highlight is the small wreck in the shallows. It’s a pretty unassuming boat, maybe 10 metres long, completely covered in soft corals and sponges. You’ll find dwarf morays peeking from the nooks, and we’ve spotted blotchfin scorpionfish perfectly camouflaged on the hull. It’s an easy swim around the structure, a perfect spot to spend some time looking for smaller creatures before heading back. Visibility hovers around 15m, making it a comfortable dive for most.
