Raymond's Point is a Bunaken wall dive with a cave, coral, and current.
Raymond's Point is a classic Bunaken wall dive with a steep reef face, a large cave section, and a coral-rich reef top. The site is known for current-driven drifts, with sharks, rays, turtles, and dense reef fish moving along the wall and sand patches. Plan the dive around tide and current strength, and treat the cave as optional overhead terrain. It suits divers comfortable with changing conditions on an exposed wall.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Keep the wall in sight on currentier sections and treat the cave as optional overhead terrain. Choose the calmer tide window if you want an easier, longer look at the reef top.
Access Restrictions
Use permitted operators and follow Bunaken National Park rules. Respect no-take marine protections and plan entry around current and tide.
Legal Notes
The marine park is protected from spearfishing, coral or fish collecting, and destructive fishing.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a wall-and-drift scuba dive, with a cave section and a sand patch that breaks up the profile.
Freediving
Only a fit when the reef top is calm; current and the wall make it a poor pick when the water is moving.
Snorkeling
Possible over the shallow reef top on a calm day, but current can make it tiring and shorten the useful window.
