Dive-site story
Located directly off the Kalasey coast south of Manado, this coastal slope combines dark volcanic sand with scattered coral bommies, seagrass, and established artificial structures. Macro enthusiasts favor the site for its quiet, unhurried critter hunting, with easy shore entries directly off the beach.

Calmer surface conditions and optimal water clarity align with the dry season, though critter diving runs productively all year.
