Wallet - Sulawesi
Wallet offers a classic wall dive experience in Sulawesi. We usually find it’s best for divers who enjoy drifting along, keeping an eye out for smaller critters tucked into the coral and sponges. The wall itself drops down into the blue, often with good visibility. It's a solid choice for a relaxing afternoon dive.
