Boat-accessed Fate Arena is a shallow coral-slope dive with sharks and rays.
Fate Arena is a boat-accessed Central Sulawesi slope dive around Buka Buka Island in the Togean area. The site starts shallow with coral gardens and then eases into deeper water, with hard corals, batfish, sea turtles, rays and occasional blacktip reef sharks. It suits beginner or easy-going scuba days, but the route still rewards good buoyancy and a sensible plan for the slope and open-water drift.
