Sometimes really good visibility when diving, the best organized base of our trip! We have never had so many turtles on one dive (850/1210TG). There were over 50 big ones sleeping, eating and swimming. MEGA!
The Bunaken are a protected area and this is clearly noticeable, with considerably more fish than on Bangka.

They always say you shouldn't touch anything underwater. However, our dive guide did not follow this rule. She intrusively touched everything or even shook bottles. We also reported this to the base manager. She said that this was probably not allowed...

Great diving service, including hot towels after surfacing and hot chocolate during the night dive. Great dive sites, experienced guides, good safety.

Blackwaterdive a bit disappointing as they were 40min late due to lack of planning and then there was a lot of rushing.

In contrast to Lembeh, it wasn't quite as good for me. The cliffs weren't quite as interesting. I'm less interested in the turtles. The two night dives were great.

Very competent local dive guides who can always show something worth seeing and still have a lot of fun at work.
Own room for photo equipment and lamps with charging station for all batteries. Top!

The base is very well managed from our point of view. The first briefing about the base with TV presentation was already very professional. Again, all staff were super nice and helpful. You actually only had to dive down yourself. The boats are very well equipped with all necessary and possible safety items (WC on board). The MA on the boat are all very relaxed. The guids really show everything that is possible and are almost marine biologists. It is written down on a board at the TG what you are seeing. Very impressive.
If you want, you can and should do a Blackwater TG. Dive on the open sea at night, with a personal guide, at a buoy with lighting. Very cool the whole thing, like Alien. Again, there is a detailed briefing beforehand at the base, which was very helpful.
A MUST is to dive the Turtle Place at Bunaken Island. We saw more turtles in one dive than in all of them together. From small to large, everything was there.
What made the diving sometimes a challenge were the current conditions, which were very challenging for us at one or the other place. But all in all it was very nice.
To recommend is actually dive packages to book, also still possible on site. This is so far the first base where we have not been charged the cheapest option at the end of the trip.

Great offer with the very payable Black Water Dive program, guides friendly but seem a little less experienced and "relaxed" than in Lembeh, but also try to fulfill the wishes and usually succeed. The service that everything is brought to the boat and prepared, I personally appreciate enormously.

Unfortunately often dive sites on Sulawesi "mainland" approached Sandy slops with partly artificial reefs. Actually the islands Siladen / Bunaken are known for wall dives with very nice reef top.

Dive guides were a bit too invasive and insensitive in searching and showing the critters. We felt that some nudis did not necessarily survive unscathed.

Diving in Bunaken National Park is an experience! It was a pleasure to dive with Anda, our dive guide. Amazing what all she could find and show us. It's nice to see the boat crew and dive guides having fun at work!

The dive sites have surprised me positively. Especially the dive sites on the mainland surprised me.
But also the many big turtles on Bunaken are very nice.
Erwin (?) was our perfect dive guide. He fully responded to our wishes and everything always fit (service pure).
At low tide the boats docked at the jetty. In the beginning we had to walk through the village (was only a problem if you don't have shoes with you), towards the end the golfmobile was in use again.

Once Bunaken always Bunaken again.
This diving area is really one of the most beautiful in the world. An underwater diversity that is not often found on our planet. If you are looking for big fish you should go to other destinations. But if you are looking for perfect reefs, corals, turtles and macro you will not be disappointed.

To the guides .... No matter which one you have - usually during the stay always the same - they know their territory.
Amazing what they find. And they adjust to the wishes of the guests.
In contrast to me who likes drift dives, my wife is an enthusiastic photographer.
Due to Corona there were only a few divers on site. Therefore, we each had our own guide, so each of us got what he wanted. It was just perfect.

The service is equal to the Siladen Resort. Everything was tip top. This also applies to equipment on site. We usually have our own equipment with us. This is washed by dive center after the dives and is back on board for the next dive.

The boats are in excellent condition.
As a small tip I give the trip to Banka. A must if you are already there.

Perfect service, only diving you have to do yourself. Choice of walldives and muckdives possible. Short trips thanks to fast boats.
