Unique diving experience in Togean

Diving Service

Diving in the Togean Islands is nothing short of spectacular. Nestled in the heart of Tomini Bay, this remote paradise offers a unique blend of untouched coral reefs, thrilling wall dives, and even a sunken World War II bomber. Whether you're gliding over vibrant coral gardens or descending into the volcanic depths of Una-Una, each dive reveals a rich tapestry of marine life from graceful reef sharks and swirling barracudas to delicate sea fans and curious cuttlefish. With warm waters, excellent visibility, and a peaceful atmosphere far from the crowds, Togean is a true haven for divers seeking both adventure and serenity beneath the surface.

Malenge sits at the eastern end of the Togean archipelago, far from the crowds and the day-trip boats. Whether this is your very first breath underwater or your five-hundredth dive, we match the sites to your level — walls and deeper reefs in the morning, shallow coral gardens in the afternoon, and the sun going down over Tomini Bay to finish the day.

Below the surface

Signature dives

Tomini Bay is one of the largest and calmest gulfs in the world, and its reefs sit far from any city or river mouth. You notice it the moment you drop in.

  • 01

    Walls & drop-offs

    Coral walls that fall away into the blue, hung with giant sea fans, barrel sponges and black coral. Drift gently along the edge and watch reef sharks and schools of barracuda patrol the deeper water.

  • 02

    The sunken bomber

    A World War II bomber rests on the bottom, wings and fuselage long since taken over by coral and patrolled by batfish. Quiet, atmospheric, and unlike any other dive in the archipelago.

  • 03

    Una-Una & the volcano

    The volcanic island of Una-Una rises straight out of deep water. Its slopes are famous across Sulawesi for dense soft-coral gardens, black volcanic sand and clouds of anthias hanging over the reef.

  • 04

    Coral gardens

    Shallow, sunlit hard-coral gardens and seagrass flats where cuttlefish, nudibranchs, pipefish and juvenile reef fish go about their day. Long, easy dives and a playground for photographers.

The diving was extraordinary. We saw lots of reef sharks and two Grey sharks in addition to stunningly beautiful reefs and lots of reef fish. Saw a ton of different little critters and can highly recommend going on a night dive if you do do scuba diving.

Speaking of diving… we had previously done some dives in Mabul, Borneo, but we enjoyed much more the coral walls of reef nº5, where enormous marine sponges grow and where you might even see some sharks

We did 9 dives at the main dive spots, and each one was incredible. The water was crystal clear, and we saw turtles, schooling sardines, baby sharks, and even barracudas.
