The dramatic volcanic landscape of this area of North Sulawesi has created some amazing walls for diving in the Bunaken Marine Park. Nearby there is also the mainand slopes of Manado that offer some great altrernative muck diving.

The marine park is made up of Bunaken Island and four other islands, and these islands are in fact a submerged mountain range that was flooded with the sea many eons ago. Fringing Reef - the steep walls of each island have formed a fringing reef that totally surrounds each island. The top of the reef wall starts 3-5m deep and drops to more than 800m, and its good for beginners and experienced divers as we find that most of the reef-life is between 10m and 15m.

Long dive times - to take advantage of the reef-life at shallow depths we encourage our guests to dive to no deeper than 25m, and to spend a long time at shallower depths - this means that dives are frequently more than 60 minutes. Obviously, we respect the experience and wishes of our guests, and have no problem in accommodating those who wish to dive deeper - we just ask that you plan this with us before-hand.

Slopes and muck - the coastline of Manado bay and the mainland offer sandy slopes as alternatives to the walls. Some of these sandy slopes offer some great muck diving where you can see unusual creatures such as sea horses and giant frog fish. There is even a ship wreck that is being taken over by schools of fish and hard and soft coral.

Its official - "Best walls in Asia" - the Bunaken walls were voted the best walls in Asia by Asian Diver magazine in 2004 because they offer:

• dramatic drop-offs with a huge variety of soft and hard corals

• amazing amount of reef fish: fusiliers, butterfly fish, sweetlips, cardinal fish, damsel fish, you name it.

• many critters camouflaged on the walls: scorpion fish, nudibranchs, lion fish, sea horses, etc.

• regular sightings of turtles, barracuda and reef shark

• visibility of 30m plus

Easy and lazy with day-trips - since we are based on Bunaken Island, most of the dive sites are within 10 minutes of us. However, for some of the further sites we like to arrange day-trips on our dive boat with picnic lunches, and you can spend time between dives exploring the other islands, snorkeling or just sun-bathing.
