Sachiko is a north-east Bunaken wall dive with a shallow reef top, a steep drop-off, and a long stretch of coral and gorgonian relief that rewards slow, careful exploration. The site suits relaxed wall cruising, reef-top snorkeling in calm water, and longer scuba profiles when current is light. Divers should plan around changing flow, exposed topography, and the protected park setting.
