Rock and Ray
Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Rock and Ray offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Rock and Ray gives you a decent wall dive, sloping down to 23 metres. We’ve seen a good mix of hard and soft corals here, holding plenty of reef fish, sometimes schooling fusiliers. Keep an eye on the blue – the site is named for a reason, and we've occasionally spotted eagle rays gliding past, along with a few reef sharks if you’re lucky. It's a comfortable dive, usually with mild currents, making it a good option for most experience levels looking for a relaxed exploration.
