Plongée à Togean Islands — Indonesia

The Togean Islands are a Coral Triangle sleeper hit, home to a non-stinging jellyfish lake (like Palau's but virtually unknown) and a sunken WWII B-24 bomber. Getting there involves a long ferry from Ampana, but those who make the effort find pristine reefs, giant clams, and a castaway island vibe that has nearly vanished elsewhere.
