We do not have long boat rides and our House Reef is rated as one of the best in the world. We have also been recognised as one of the top 10 eco dive resorts in Asia by Scuba Diver Australasia Magazine. The Indo Pacific region is known as the most marine biodiverse in the world and divers at Selayar Dive Resort will not be disappointed.

Selayar offers divers the opportunity to see everything from Nudibranch to the large grey reef shark – such diversity is common on every dive site here!

Prior to the foundation of the marine park Selayar Dive Resort recognised this special area as being one of outstanding beauty and was pivotal in the creation of the park in 2002. Since the creation of the marine protected area it seems like the word has spread to the marine life and fish numbers and species variety continues to increase! The reef tops offer impressive coral growth and the walls will impress even the most seasoned of divers.

House Reef Diving – Diving the House Reef? A highlight? Yes, absolutely!

Selayar Dive Resort offers unlimited House Reef diving – and our House Reef is not just your average House Reef dive site – from the end of our 145 meter private jetty we have a stunning drop off, spectacular corals, turtles, sea snakes, nudibranch, gorgonian fans, pygmy sea horses and a host of reef fishes to keep you enthralled dive after dive. Our House Reef can easily be ranked as one of the best House Reefs in Indonesia!
It’s possible to dive to either side of the jetty and both sites have steep rugged walls with many sea fans, soft corals and a range of reef fish and macro life.

Along the upper section of the wall are many shelves and caverns which are popular places for both green turtles and huge spiny lobsters that reside here. The huge sea fans which adorn the walls are also home to pygmy seahorses and allied cowries. On deeper sections of the House Reef we often see marble sting rays and eagle rays as well as grey and white tip reef sharks!
Our house reefs also make perfect places for snorkellers to explore; when snorkelling (or diving) the House Reef you can enter the water from the jetty or by swimming directly from the beach in front of your bungalow.
House Reef night diving is not to be missed – there are huge lobsters scampering across the reef top, sleeping turtles and a host of incredible nocturnal critters to fascinate you.
If you want to experience House Reef diving in Sulawesi then Selayar is the place to come!
