Tanjung Gurita
Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Tanjung Gurita offers some of Sulawesi's richest diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Tanjung Gurita, on the coast of Sulawesi, is a straightforward reef dive. We usually find it’s a good spot for a relaxed second dive or for newer divers getting comfortable with the local conditions. Expect to see some triggerfish, parrotfish, and fusiliers moving over the reef. It’s a decent enough spot for a quick dip, but don't expect it to blow your fins off.
