StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

Pasir Tengah Atoll offers a straightforward coral reef dive off Sulawesi. We’ve found it’s generally a relaxed spot, decent for a multi-dive day, with a good chance of seeing various reef fish going about their business. Visibility tends to be reliable, making it a good option for newer divers looking for a calm introduction to Indonesian reefs, or for those who simply prefer a less strenuous dive.
