Rock and Ray is a remote Togean wall dive for all-level scuba.
Rock and Ray is a remote Togean wall dive for all-level scuba.
Rock and Ray is a Togean wall dive with a gradual slope into deeper water, vibrant coral, and enough structure to keep both newer and experienced scuba divers interested. The site reads like a remote-island big-fish reef: all-level friendly on paper, but with the kind of terrain that rewards steady buoyancy and a relaxed pace. It suits divers who want clear tropical water, a broad depth transition, and the chance of rays, sharks, and other larger reef life rather than a simple shallow scenic swim.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
5m - 35m
Depth Note
The site is a wall that starts shallow and continues into deeper water, so it should be planned as a broad depth-transition dive rather than a flat reef.
Best Season
April to November, with the calmest seas and clearest visibility in the dry season.
Typical Conditions
Warm tropical water, clear visibility around 30 m or more, generally gentle currents, and a remote-island wall-diving setting.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep a close eye on depth and gas on the wall, and let the guide choose the line if the current shifts or the deeper section looks less forgiving.
Access Restrictions
Reachable through a Togean base or liveaboard, with the islands remote enough that you usually stay nearby to dive them properly.
Legal Notes
Follow the resort or liveaboard boat plan and any local marine-park rules; the Togeans are a protected, remote dive destination rather than a casual shore site.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A scenic wall-and-slope reef that works well for guided boat dives, buoyancy control, and mixed-level groups.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the wall profile and remote boat logistics suit scuba more clearly.
Snorkeling
Better suited to scuba than casual snorkeling; the deeper wall profile is the main draw.
