DIVE SITE
FUKUI POINT

This dive site, located off Indonesia’s Bunaken Island to its southwest, is named after a Japanese instructor who first described it in the 1980s. It is the only dive site in the area which is not a wall dive. There are sandy slopes which lead to both soft and hard corals, and this too is not all-prevalent, but rather present in patches. The dive depth is only 50 feet or 15 meters, and you can find three giant clams in a row. These are always surrounded by playful butterfly fish, which are always friendly towards new visitors - they swim towards you instead of in the opposite direction. You can expect big fish like Napoleon Wrasse as it is a cleaning station. Other marine life includes black snappers, spadefish, blackfin barracuda, trevally, and a big school of batfish, in addition to sweetlips and large triggerfish. You may also come across garden eels while exploring the sandy parts of the dive site.
