Why dive here
With 238+ marine species recorded in the area - including blacktip reef sharks, giant moray eels, pygmy seahorses, seahorses and sperm whales - Tasik Ria Pier offers some of Sulawesi's richest reef diving. Water ranges 29-31°C, warmest June, October, November.
Tasik Ria Pier offers a compelling muck dive for those who enjoy the hunt for smaller, unusual critters. We've often spotted frogfish, various nudibranchs, and the occasional flamboyant cuttlefish along the sandy bottom and around the pier pilings. It's a site that rewards slow, meticulous diving, making it a good pick for underwater photographers or macro enthusiasts. Expect silty conditions, but that’s part of the fun here.
