Dive-site story
Positioned along the south coast of Bunaken Island, Lekuan 2 features a sheer vertical drop-off cloaked in giant gorgonian sea fans, barrel sponges, and whip corals. Divers typically drift along the wall, which plunges into deep oceanic blue. Resident green sea turtles rest on small ledges or ascend to the surface, while dense clouds of schooling reef fish hover in the current just off the coral face.
