Sachiko's Point

Sachiko's Point, named after a Japanese diver from the park's early tourism days, is where Bunaken adds voltage to its wall formula. Tidal flow wraps the island's northeast corner, and the fish respond: fusiliers stream along the face, jacks and the occasional dogtooth tuna work the edge, and whitetips ride the moving water. The wall itself is among the park's most textured, with oversized gorgonians and barrel sponges below twenty meters, and sharp-eyed guides find pygmy seahorses on the fans mid-drift, an exercise in station-keeping. Turtles appear here as everywhere in the park. When the current runs hard the dive becomes a fast scenic transit; when it relents, a detailed photographic wall.

Khoảnh khắc bạn đến vì nó: Fast drifts on the point; big fans with pygmy seahorses; pelagic edge traffic.

Địa hình: Wall and current-swept point on Bunaken's northeast corner, with big fans and sponge growth below 20 m.

Dòng chảy: A point site: tide converges here, and the drift can move at a genuine clip when it runs.

Nguy hiểm cần lưu ý: Current acceleration at the point and eddies off the corner; carry an SMB and follow the guide's line on the drift.
