Coral Walls

Silvertip Grounds Dive Site

Experience an awe-inspiring vertical wall dive at Silvertip Grounds, where towering caverns, massive sponges, and the occasional ripping current create an unforgettable underwater adventure. This site features a narrow shallow reef, dropping off dramatically to 30-40 meters before plunging to 120 meters. Uniquely, its upper corner is covered with a pink soft coral forest and coral bommies reaching the surface. Originally surveyed by Miguel’s Diving in 2000, the site was named after a Silvertip
shark (Carcharhinus albimarginatus) that once patrolled the area. The wall, shaped by strong currents, has smooth contours and deep crevices. Marine life flourishes in the fast-moving water, making this an excellent spot for schooling fish.

Honeycomb Dive Site

A sweet place to dive, Honeycomb Dive Site features a densely covered coral wall with striking vertical chutes and prominent sponges. The site includes two collapsed caverns and a scenic swim-through, offering divers a variety of dramatic underwater landscapes. The wall’s rugged surface, shaped by erosion, provides shelter for abundant marine life, including schooling fish and vibrant coral colonies. The unique geological formations make this one of Gorontalo’s most visually engaging dive sites.

Traffic Circle
Dive Site

Located within Olele Village Marine Park, Traffic Circle is a thriving coral reef wall maintained by the local community. This pristine site features over 80% hard coral coverage and two prominent coral points that protrude into the current, attracting schools of fish. A huge colony of Galaxea coral dominate one coral point. Currents at this site often reverse. Divers typically drift along the lower current past the points before ascending to ride the reverse surface current back to the mooring buoy.
