Fukui
Fukui, on the south-west side of Bunaken, is a coral slope rather than a wall, with hard-coral reef tops and some artificial reef structures. Large groups of mackerel and batfish are almost always present, with yellowtail barracuda, blackspot snappers and occasionally sharks; resident Napoleon wrasse hang around the mooring, and a field of giant clams and garden eels add interest. It is a popular night dive.
