Sulawesi diving resort, Indonesia

Well travelled divers, who have visited  famous dive destinations all over the world, frequently tell us they have never seen such a vast, pristine and enjoyable reef area. There are literally hundreds of world class dive sites, many still unexplored.

We have an incredible number of dive sites and we provide greater freedom than any other operator (within the limits of safety) to explore them. We let you dive as long and as deep as your certification allows. Boat dives are extended to a full 75 min., and house reef dives are of unlimited length. Considering the incredible variety of hard and soft corals it's a pleasure making long safety stops and enjoying dives - at your own pace.

There is no need for long speedboat transfers to see reefs teeming with life. Dive sites are within minutes of the resort. The reefs provide habitats for the tiniest to the biggest, and the most beautiful to the ugliest (cutest) marine creatures. The closer you look, the more you will see. On many dives, we discover species we've never seen before.

Each season has its particular highlights. The hundreds of kilometers of reef structure provide every imaginable marine animal including the occasional whale, dolphins, sharks, rays, tunas, barracudas, marlin and more. Of course, if you want to see these big beauties, you have to be fortunate enough to be at the right place at the right time!

It has been scientifically documented that the area of the world where we are located contains more marine species than any other. You will see that this is true when you come diving here!

The main draw of the area is primarily the lushness of the reefs, the pristine condition they are in and with the gusto that every imaginable species of coral grows on them. There's an abundance of soft corals, hard corals and everything in-between. While there's tons of fish in the area it's primarily the reefs themselves that are so impressive here. There are other areas of the world where you can see larger schools of fish, bigger animals and experience more adrenaline-filled uw rides. There's however no other place where the corals are so pristine over such a vast area.

Experiencing a large variety of marine creatures on your trip is guaranteed simply by just visiting the beautiful house reef, only a few fin strokes away from the dive center. Visitors have frequently described this reef as the Best House Reef in the World. It features several species of clownfish in a variety of anemone hosts, turtles, rays, batfish, crocodile fish, scorpion fish, ghost pipe fish, frog fish, razorfish, sea snakes, porcelain crabs, nudibranchs, blue-ringed octopus, cuttlefish, leaf fish, 4 (four) species of pygmy seahorses and many, many more (too many to list).

On your exploration of this coral heaven you will - when entering the water by the resort - swim through three different habitats, namely: sand, sea grass and corals. Each is amazing in its own right. Frequently photographers take dozens of shots only in the seagrass, as it teems with life. With dive light in hand, at night the house reef becomes the most colorful and vibrant show of nature's splendor you can think of. Come visit, and we'll show you!

Please note: Our prices includes unlimited house reef diving & 3 boat dives a day to the surrounding reefs together with occasional boat night dives. Many really enthusiastic guests do 5 or even 6, 70 minute dives (7 hours under water) per day! Guests may need to spend money on equipment rental and/or Nitrox if they require it, for unlimited fills during their stay. The resort itself is situated on a small island locally called Onemobaa. Our island is beside Tomia Island, one of four major islands covering an area of 821 sq. km. The beautiful resort is built directly at the seaside, with all bungalows spaced along our exquisite beach. The main Loungehouse contains all the common guest facilities such as the dive centre (with separate equipment and camera room that offers both 220v and 110v charging stations, fridge for film and much more).

There is also a rental equipment room, dining area, kitchen, video lounge and marine life reference library as well as storage rooms, the bar and bathrooms. Guests visiting experience accommodations that embrace ecotourism principles. The main house was designed in the traditional architectural style of the Indonesian longhouse. It was constructed by local craftsmen with traditional (hand) tools. Additionally, we also have a range of guest bungalows also built in a traditional style and inspired by the home of the last sultan of Tomia. New for this year is a superbly crafted restaurant and bar that has brought our guests' dining experience to a whole new level.

Please note: Our prices includes all meals (prepared by our team of 5 star chefs), and all drinks except alcohol & imported sodas).
