Tanjung tanduk
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 tanduk offers some of Sulawesi's richest wall diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Tanjung Tanduk is a solid choice for a dive in Sulawesi, often delivering a good mix of pelagics and macro. We’ve had some cracking encounters here with reef sharks cruising through, and the smaller stuff, like the pygmy seahorses, are often tucked away in the gorgonians. It’s a site that rewards a keen eye and divers who appreciate both the big and the small. We’d suggest it for experienced divers comfortable with potential currents.
