Dive Information
Bunaken is primarily wall diving. Some walls have a visible bottom below recreational dive limits, while others have no visible bottom. There are almost always currents, creating anything from a very mild drift dive to extremely challenging conditions. Because of this, there are dives to suit divers of all skill levels. Manado also offers some great diving, although visibility is less than out at Bunaken, so photographers tend to learn towards macro photography in this area. Bangka Island is close and offers incredible pinnacle dives full of soft coral. Again, these dives are very dependent on currents.
Bunaken's best dive sites for fish are Manado Dua, Barracuda Point, Sachiko, Mandolin, and Likuan I.
Dive Center Information
The Bastianos Bangka Dive Center is located on-site, offering guests easy access to explore the waters of Bunaken. With experienced dive guides and well-equipped dive boats, this vacation is one you are sure not to forget.
