Day 1:

Safety Briefing, Crew Introduction, Necessary Dive Paperwork, Cabin allocation and ship orientation will take place before departing the Harbour. During the journey to our first dive site for a check dive, please take this opportunity to familiarize yourselves with the vessel and make yourself comfortable.

Day 2-10:

Gorontalo area. Fantastic walls with overhangs, crevasses, beautiful soft corals and the famous "Dali" sponge (so called because of its intricate swirling surface pattern). This species of large sponges was discovered in Tomini Bay in the 1920s and is only found on deep walls around this area

Steep drop offs, overhangs, caverns, caves, pinnacles and chimneys clogged with white fans, numerous gorgonian sea fans, dramatic walls with dense coral growth and mixed coral gardens up shallow in addition to black coral bushes and large sponges.

Also the possibility to see whale sharks.

Togean Island with a large barrier reef, caves, overhangs, and swim throughs along with exciting schooling fish action and swift currents to smaller fringing reefs as well as a few atolls. The reefs and large coastal mangrove areas are habitat and breeding areas for the hawksbill turtle, the green turtle and the dugong. Fish life is abundant, with sightings of reef sharks, rays, tunas and barracudas being common.

There are plenty of turtles, napoleon wrasse, bumphead parrotfish and realms of colourful reef- inhabitants. Apart from the number & variety of fish, the Togians feature amazing corals & black coral bushes, huge gorgonians & whip corals stretching high into the blue and stunning barrel sponges on the reef.

Una-Una island. We will dive around this volcanic island (last eruption was in 1984 and the traces are clearly visible) where the dive sites look like they were boosted by the volcanic ashes.

The islands offer quite a variety of reef systems, including a huge barrier reef. Nearby mangroves provide a safe area for many species to breed, including the hawksbill turtle, green turtle, and even dugongs!
