Curso de apnea en corales en Bira

Dive the reef off Tanjung Bira, at the southern tip of South Sulawesi, with GaiaOne's Ocean Gardener team, the same people who plant and maintain its coral. This guided fun dive starts from Bara Beach and works through the house reef's coral gardens and restoration nurseries, with no more than four divers per guide. Book a single dive or line up several across your stay, each priced at $90.

You descend beside rows of young coral fragments set out on the nursery structures, then fin over the established gardens these transplants are meant to rejoin. Your guide is one of the gardeners, so you hear which colonies started life in the nursery and how they are faring. Watch the reef edges for Tortelluna and Kara, the two turtles that live here, and slow down over fresh growth, where small reef life settles first.
