The Togian Islands (sometimes spelt Togean) are located in the large and deep Tomini Bay in North Sulawesi. This hard to reach dive destination offers fringing reefs, barrier reefs and coral atolls. Waters are clear and warm, corals are pristine and fish life is abundant, a true tropical diving paradise. Togian dive sites offer something for everyone, from big fish action on deep walls to pretty coral reefs full of colourful fish to macro divers for critter hunters. There is even a B24 Plane Wreck. 
Divers can reach the Togian's by liveaboard or they can stay at one of the small dive resorts. The best months to dive are April to October.
Togian Islands Dive sites:
Pulau Una Una is a small volcanic island with a pinnacle off the east coast that drops down to 60m. Perfect coral formations and huge sponges create a kaleidoscope of colour and the density of fish is simply astonishing. Large schools of midnight snapper, yellowdash fusilier and lantern toby among others surround divers. Other reef fish include oriental sweetlips, regal angelfish, redtooth triggerfish, pumphead parrotfish and long nose emperors. Turtles are common and eagle rays are often seen. Crocodile longtoms can be seen just below the surface.
Apollo is a sloping patch reef on the south west side of Una Una Island that starts at 20 metres and descents down to 45 metres. There are normally large schools of blacktail barracuda here. It is also possible to see Napoleon wrasse and clown triggerfish. Continued >>
