Explore Togian Islands
Tomini Bay is home to the Togian Islands, an archipelago of 56 islands renowned for their clear water, white sand, and rainforests. Below the surface lie sites featuring drop-offs down to 400 meters/1,312 feet, pinnacles teeming with marine life, and intact World War II airplane wrecks ready to be discovered. While scuba diving in the Togian (sometimes spelled Togean) Islands, you have the chance to witness schooling hammerhead sharks, which are at the top of many divers' wish lists. To gain access to the remote Togian waters, you can stay at a dive resort, but due to its location, it is best to explore the depths from visiting liveaboards. There are a few dive centers to take courses from in the area, but on many liveaboards, there’s also an opportunity to take part in various dive courses.

In the depths of Togian dive sites lies a vast array of marine life from large pelagics to macro life camouflaged against magnificent coral backdrops.
