Popular Selayar wall dive with gorgonians and drift.
Kolo-Kolo is a classic east-Selayar boat dive on a limestone wall, usually run as a slow drift from Pattumbukan. The site combines a coral-rich wall, caves, overhangs, and a reef top that makes it good for both wide-angle scenery and macro subjects, with enough structure for multiple relaxed passes along the wall at a time.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
5m - 35m
Depth Note
Shallow reef-top wall with a deep drop-off; regional guides place the maximum around 35 m and describe a slow-drift profile with strong coral cover.
Best Season
Year-round; calmer days are best for the slow drift and cleaner photography.
Typical Conditions
Limestone wall with mild current, dense gorgonians and soft corals, caves and overhangs, and a reef top full of macro life.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Watch depth and buoyancy on the wall, stay clear of the overhangs, and keep an eye on the drift so you do not overshoot the reef top.
Access Restrictions
Use a local Selayar operator; the site is a drift-capable wall and is best handled with a proper briefing.
Legal Notes
Follow Selayar marine-park and reef-protection guidance, and dive with a local operator familiar with the site.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Typically dived as a slow drift along the wall in mild current.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target; the wall and current make it better suited to scuba drift sessions.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is only secondary on the reef top and shallow areas; the wall itself is a scuba feature.
