Sachiko's Point
Sachiko's Point is a wall on the north-east side of Bunaken, starting shallow and dropping beyond recreational limits. It is covered in gorgonian sea fans and wire corals; barracuda, blacktip reef sharks, Napoleon wrasse, batfish and moray eels are common, turtles often join the safety stop, and bumphead parrotfish feed on the shallow hard corals.
