Best for intermediate divers, 28-32m, boat entry, moderate current.
Catalina is a varied marine site in Indonesia featuring a combination of reef, wall, drift, and pinnacle topography. Divers can expect depths ranging from 28 to 32 metres, with an average depth of 15 metres. Access is by boat only, and the site is suited for intermediate divers due to moderate currents that can shift with little warning. Visibility fluctuates between 10 and 30 metres, and water temperatures remain consistent between 29 and 30C throughout the year. Night diving is available at this location. Given the potential for changing currents and variable visibility, booking a guided tour is recommended to navigate the site safely.

Book a guided tour rather than exploring independently, as the currents around the pinnacles can shift with little warning and a local guide will read the water far better than any tide chart. Dive early in the morning when visibility tends to be at the cleaner end of the range.
The dive center is located in Jl. Selat Bali, Fandoi, Biak, Papua 98512, next to the Swiss Laundry.
