Best for intermediate divers, 15-45m, boat entry, mild current.
Torada is a reef and wall site in the Togian Islands featuring a drop-off that descends to 45 metres. The reef structure transitions from a shallower section at 15 metres into a deeper wall, allowing divers to manage their depth according to their dive plan. Conditions are generally manageable with mild currents and reliable visibility of 30 metres. Water temperatures remain warm, ranging between 26 and 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year. This site is accessible by boat only. Due to the significant depth and potential for nitrogen narcosis below 30 metres, intermediate divers should monitor their gauges closely and maintain a pre-set maximum depth.

Keep a close eye on your depth gauge on the wall, as the drop-off is gradual enough that it is easy to drift deeper than intended without noticing. Confirm boat and guide availability locally before travelling, as facilities at this site can vary.
Reach Gorontalo by air via Jakarta, Denpasar, or Manado. Dive sites are accessible by boat from the dock.
