Mike's Point: shore-entry wall dive with sharks, rays, and strong current.
Mike's Point is a shore-entry wall dive on the north coast of Bunaken Island in Bunaken Marine Park, known for its amphitheatre-like drop-off, strong current, and year-round diving. The wall carries black corals, giant gorgonians, and a mix of hard and soft coral, while reef sharks, eagle rays, silvertip sharks, and big wrasse make the site a classic advanced target. It rewards current-aware planning and a calm, disciplined entry because the site can shift between manageable drift conditions and a harder flow.
