About Fukui Point

Fukui Point is one of the few dive sites on Bunaken Island without a wall. Instead it is a gentle sand and coral slope on the island's west coast, home to a resident colony of garden eels.

The garden eels live in the sandy area, and divers find giant clams around 20 to 22 metres. The slope makes an easy profile from 5 metres down to about 25.

Currents are usually mild but can bring occasional strong downcurrents, and with them pelagic visitors such as barracuda. Batfish are regulars on the slope.
