Tanjung Parigi
Classic Bunaken wall dive with strong current and big fish.
North Bunaken wall dive with a shallow coral shelf, steep wall, strong corner currents, and dense reef life.
About Tanjung Parigi
Tanjung Parigi is a shore-access wall dive on the northern side of Bunaken, where a shallow coral shelf drops into a long vertical wall full of black coral, sponges, and gorgonians. It is one of Bunaken's classic big-fish sites: reef sharks, eagle rays, turtles, jacks, tunas, and dense reef life on a route that rewards buoyancy and good timing around the corners. The diving is beautiful but not casual, so plan for current, depth, and a proper reef-wall profile rather than an easy sheltered swim.
