Wind and Waves

Because of Sulawesi’s twisted, orchid-like shape, diving in various locations differs greatly throughout the year. In Gorontalo the month of August is the height of wave season, with east winds blowing constantly. Miguel’s Diving staff generally stay out of the water during this month. However, other Sulawesi locations are great for diving in August, such as Bunaken in Manado or the Togian Islands in Central Sulawesi.
