Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Murex Dive offers some of Sulawesi's richest muck diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Murex Dive, right off the coast of Sulawesi, is a solid house reef. It's the kind of spot we drop into when we want an easy, unhurried dive, usually to stretch our bottom time or just unwind. You'll often find us hovering over a patch of reef where a colony of pink anemonefish have made their home, or spotting a false-eyed pufferfish blending in surprisingly well. It's a relaxed dive, great for macro enthusiasts who enjoy taking their time with a subject, or for anyone happy just pottering about with their camera. Keep an eye out for Carnelian cowries tucked into crevices; they're always a nice find.
