Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Kuda Laut offers some of Sulawesi's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Kuda Laut is a solid muck dive, an excellent spot for macro enthusiasts hunting down the small stuff. We typically find several species of pygmy seahorse tucked into the gorgonians, along with ghost pipefish and various nudibranchs on the sandy slope. The site generally suits patient divers who enjoy a slower pace, focusing on detailed observation rather than large pelagics.
