Boat access and timing are typically arranged through local Selayar operators or resorts.
Bone Malea is a Selayar boat dive west of Pasi Gusung with a relaxed white-sand slope, hard and soft coral, and seafans. It suits slow reef cruising more than a technical profile, with turtles, rays, snappers, triggerfish, morays, nudibranchs, and grouper among the usual sightings. Operators often run it as a first morning stop from Padang Harbor, so the day can move with tide and weather. Nearby resort support makes it practical for scuba and snorkel days alike.
