Reef
Bunaken's rare sloping reef, with coral starting shallow and a deeper run-out that suits calm windows and easier navigation than the park's walls.
About Fukui Point
Shallow sloping reef on the west coast of Bunaken Island, with coral starting close to the surface and a deeper run-out that rewards calm weather windows and easy navigation. The site is Bunaken's gentler alternative to the wall dives, with coral gardens, giant clams, and a strong fish mix on settled days. Expect current to vary, but the shallow slope makes it a good fit for relaxed scuba, freediving, or calm-water snorkeling when the sea cooperates.
Safety & Access
Site Conditions
Strong current
Safety Notes
Stay conservative on current and turn the dive early if the flow starts to build. The shallow slope is forgiving, but it is still a moving-water Bunaken site.
Access Restrictions
Shore access from Bunaken Island; most visitors still reach the island by boat from Manado and dive with a local operator.
Legal Notes
Follow Bunaken Marine Park fee and access rules, and let your resort or guide handle the park formalities.

Local Intel For Fukui Point
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Gentle slope with coral gardens, giant clams, and fish stations. It is the more forgiving Bunaken option when the wall sites are feeling too spicy.
Freediving
One of the better Bunaken sites for freediving on calm days because the reef starts shallow and slopes gradually.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work close to shore in calm weather, especially over the shallow coral garden, but watch the current and stay inside the island-side shelter.
