Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Taipi Island offers some of Sulawesi's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Taipi Island is a decent choice for an easy dive in Sulawesi, especially if you’re keen on seeing coral. The staghorn coral is particularly abundant here, creating wide fields that look pretty impressive when the light hits them right. You’ll also spot plenty of other reef-building corals, like branch and starflower, along with several clam species tucked into the crevices – think bear paw and boring clams, even some small giant clams if you keep an eye out. It’s a comfortable dive, good for stretching your bottom time and just enjoying the sheer volume of coral.
