The guides were always keen to show us as much as possible. Macro fans get their money's worth.

We were able to spend three weeks on the island of Saronde in August and, in short, it was an incredibly wonderful time. I can agree with all the previous reviews.
I'll go into a little more detail about the diving:
Briefly about us - we did our OWD in the Maldives 2 years ago, haven't been diving since and so traveled to Indonesia with just 5 dives. We are therefore beginners, so please bear that in mind when giving our opinion. Muck diving was completely new to us, as was the focus on macro creatures. Thanks to the extremely attentive, sharp eagle eyes of the guides, we were able to discover and photograph a large number of different animals during our many dives. It should also be mentioned here that every evening the time is taken for an intensive debriefing with identification of what we have seen - we found that particularly great! Most of the dive sites we have visited so far are very beautiful, and there will certainly be more in the future. Just think - it's the only resort far and wide :-)
The service is absolutely first class, all the equipment is brought to the boat, then brought back to the villa to the small dive center and cleaned.
Apart from the computer and mask, we don't have any of our own, so we rented almost everything on site. There was nothing to complain about with the rental equipment.
The dive times here are set very flexibly according to the wishes of the guests the evening before. We usually did two dives in the morning, between breakfast and lunch on the island.
Towels are always available on the boat. Coffee, tea, water, fruit and pancakes are provided at all times.
To summarize, if you love macro, are looking for uniquely good service, are perhaps a beginner in diving and are looking for a family resort far away from mass tourism, I can only warmly recommend Saronde.
We will definitely be back!

It was great that we had our own dive guide the whole time - big praise to Otan - and the service with our own small dive center at the villa was top! The de-breefing in the evening was great, where all the photos were discussed and sea creatures were named.

Beautiful dive sites, focus on macro. We were fascinated by how much small colorful life can hide on inconspicuous water plants & co. Our two guides M & O really found every little snail. And no strict 60-minute dives. With enough air, dives of 80-110 minutes were even possible.
Equipment was brought to the boat or to the jetty, set up and brought back again. All you had to do was breathe and be amazed.

Nitrox not yet available, but would be desirable.

There is not really a classic, central dive center; each villa has its own "mini" dive center with a sink and drying facilities.
The service is excellent and you are relieved of any strenuous preparation or post-processing of the equipment.
For macro fans we would give the dive sites 6 stars, for divers with a focus on corals and fish diversity rather 4.

The service is perfect. Not only to every dive also if you want to swap in the afternoon at the house reef, the things are brought directly to the jetty and picked up again after the dive. The clothes are washed daily by the guides and hung out to dry. It is an ideal dive site for macro divers

Only one boat, if one group goes to the whale sharks, the other can not dive. No fish only mini macro snails.

Indonesia has broken a lot by fishing with bombs, corals broken, a lot of plastic mill
