    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Simone Point, off the coast of Sulawesi, offers a comfortable wall dive. Look for schooling fusiliers and the occasional reef shark patrolling the deeper sections. The site is a good choice for divers wanting a relaxed dive with consistent visibility, though it might not surprise seasoned muck divers. We’d say it’s a solid pick for a second dive of the day.
