Blue Fish is a boat-access Selayar reef dive a short ride from Benteng Harbour. The site mixes a gentle slope with flat white sand and scattered coral patches, giving it an easy, relaxed feel. Hard and soft corals, mild current, and steady reef fish life make it a good choice for calm exploration, slow photography, and macro hunting rather than a fast profile.
