Mauwang Island
Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Mauwang Island offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Mauwang Island, off the coast of Sulawesi, is a pretty straightforward coral reef dive. We usually find the currents here manageable, making it a good spot for divers who want to take their time exploring the coral gardens. You'll likely spot plenty of reef fish going about their day – fusiliers, parrotfish, and the occasional curious triggerfish. It’s a pleasant, easy dive, a nice relaxed afternoon in the water if you're in the area.
