Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Little India offers some of Sulawesi's richest cave diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Little India, near Black Forest, offers a mellow drift along a sloping reef. We usually kick off in a bright field of temple coral, which is a real highlight, before the landscape slowly shifts to the sponge gardens more typical of Una Una. Keep an eye out for those scarlet soldierfish tucked into the overhangs, and we've spotted pygmy gobies on the sponges if you slow down and look closely. It's a relaxed dive, good for a second tank, with average visibility around 16m and a maximum depth of 22m. The gentle current often carries you along, making it a comfortable experience for most divers.
Safety Notes
Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
