    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Tangkasi, off Sulawesi, offers a pleasant drift over slopes dotted with big table corals and sprawling staghorn thickets. We often spot bluespotted shrimpgobies peeking from their burrows and the quick flashes of Lubbock's wrasse flitting past. It’s a comfortable dive, good for getting your buoyancy dialed in and appreciating the smaller details. Keep an eye out for bicolor nudibranchs grazing on the coral – they add a nice splash of colour to the reef.
