About this site
Tidore S 1 sits off Halmahera Island in the nutrient-rich Halmahera Sea. Strong currents attract pelagics like sharks and schooling barracuda. The steep wall drops to over 30 meters, covered in vibrant soft corals and sea fans. Expect excellent visibility and thrilling drift dives along the reef. Occasional thermoclines bring cooler water and increased marine activity. A pristine site for advanced divers seeking big fish encounters.
