Vertical wall dive with strong reef life near Ternate.
Tomajiko, Hiri Island is a boat-linked wall dive near Ternate with steep volcanic relief and a strong reef-life payoff. The wall is lined with soft corals and sea fans, and the main attraction is the mix of fish schools, macro life, and bigger reef species moving along the drop-off. It suits divers who are comfortable with current and prefer a more dynamic, vertical profile over a flat reef cruise.
