Sixtinne Wall
Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Sixtinne Wall offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
The Sixtinne Wall in Sulawesi is a proper vertical drop, descending to around 34 meters. We’ve found the wall itself is a lovely tapestry of corals, which keeps things interesting as you drift along. Keep an eye out into the blue for bigger pelagics, especially those dogtooth tuna zipping by, and we’ve definitely spotted blacktip reef sharks on more than a few occasions. Turtles are often cruising along the wall face too. It’s a good spot for divers who appreciate a classic wall dive and don’t mind a bit of current.
