Tanjung Pasir
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 Pasir offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Tanjung Pasir, or 'Sand Corner,' is exactly what it sounds like – a gently sloping sand patch. We often use it for skill practice and intro dives, and for good reason. You get fantastic visibility, averaging 35 metres, which is brilliant when you're focusing on fin pivots or just getting comfortable in the water. Keep an eye out for the yellow margin triggerfish; they’re pretty bold here, often darting between the scattered coral heads. It’s a calm, shallow spot, maxing out at 14 metres, making it ideal for new divers or anyone shaking off the rust.
