Lighthouse Bukabuka
Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Lighthouse Bukabuka offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Bukabuka Lighthouse, off Sulawesi, offers a mellow drift along a sloping reef that gives way to a rather impressive Cabbage Coral garden. It’s neatly arranged, almost manicured, which is a bit unusual to see. We’ve spotted Blacktip Reef Sharks cruising by and even an Eagle Ray or two on a good day. It’s a comfortable dive, maxing out around 21m, with good visibility, often over 30m. Great for a relaxed afternoon float, especially if you appreciate healthy hard coral formations.
