Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Tanduk Russa offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Tanduk Russa, in Sulawesi, presents a relaxed dive often characterized by gentle slopes and occasional small walls. Expect to find a good mix of hard and soft corals, with regular sightings of schooling bannerfish and groupers hovering near the reef edge. It’s a comfortable dive, suitable for those looking for a pleasant reef exploration rather than a high-octane drift. We think it’s a solid choice for an afternoon unwind.
