Off Season Diving in Gorontalo, Sulawesi

With the exception of world famous Bunaken Marine Park, most other scuba diving locations around Sulawesi have distinct seasons. This includes diving in Sulawesi's Gorontalo Province. Fortunate weather during this last week of May has allowed advance scouts from a scuba diving club to enjoy the waters here in Gorontalo. Even our more weather-affected sites were available this week. For the most part we have enjoyed spectacular 25 - 30 meter visibility. Highlights of the final dive of the month include a school of 10 Yellowfin tuna, multiple schools of Shipjack tuna, a large school of Purse-eyed scad, countless schools of Yellow-dash, Banana, and Lunar fusiliers, a Green Turtle, a Napo.lean wrasse, Gold-spec jawfish, Mappa puffer, three huge Bumphead parrotfish playing follow-the-leader with us, and a school of Bottlenose dolphin frolicking overhead.
