    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Soleman Point, off Sulawesi, offers a drift dive along a sloping reef. We often find schooling fusiliers here, along with the occasional reef shark patrolling deeper. It’s a pretty easygoing current most days, making it a good choice for divers who enjoy covering some distance without too much effort. Keep an eye out for turtles grazing on the hard corals.
