Togian Islands | | The Togian islands are located in the Tomini bay. Apart from the Paisubatu there are a few basic, backpacker style places (Kadidiri Paradise, Black Marlin, Island Retreat) plus one more upmarket resort (Walea) which offer diving in the area.
The area offers a wide range of divesites: Nice walls, Boomies which are good for sharks and big fish if there is some current, a WW2 airplane wreck (Liberator), spot with big schools of barracudas and jack fish and so on. Unfortunately there are also some places where there is a lot of damage from dynamite fishing.
One of the best islands for diving in the Toginas islands area is Unauna, a volcanic island. This island is a bit apart from the other islands and has only a small population and no accomodation or dive base. It was on Unauna where we saw the big schools of barracudas and jackfish. | © Tom Weilenmann
