Katupat Macro Garden
Tomini Bay, Togian Islands · Indonesia
A shallow sandy slope and rubble field off Katupat village that rewards slow, patient diving. Mimic octopus, flamboyant cuttlefish, blue-ringed octopus, and an exceptional density of nudibranchs make this one of Sulawesi's best muck diving spots. Night dives here regularly produce mandarin fish displays.
