About Bima Sakti 1
Bima Sakti 1 is a boat-accessed wall-style reef on Buka Buka in the Togean Islands, known for its zig-zag mini wall, overhangs, and healthy hard coral. The dive reads as a structured swim along a broken reef edge, with sponges, sea fans, and a clear-water line that keeps the scenery easy to track. Plan it through the resort boat schedule and weather windows, since this is a remote site rather than a quick shore hop. It suits intermediate scuba divers who like terrain-led dives and calm, well-organized logistics.
