Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Kogutu Reef offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Kogutu Reef, off Sulawesi, feels like a good old-fashioned reef dive. We’ve found it reliably hosts a solid population of Staghorn corals, the kind that really build out the reef structure, along with some nice Starflower corals and the occasional Anacropora. Keep an eye out for the Bear Paw and Small Giant Clams tucked into the nooks, and we often spot cowries working their way across the corals. It’s a comfortable dive, usually without strong currents, making it a great spot for an easy afternoon, maybe a third dive of the day, when you just want to relax and watch the reef do its thing.
