This is one of only three sites in the world where coelacanths can be found.

Please mention you heard about the air station from DogsBreathDivers.com when you buy your air or mixed gases.

  Have you dived Bunaken National Marine Park or Sangir-Talud Islands to the northwest? Please let us know and we'll add your dive log here if you want ~ thanks.

 

 

Have you seen any Coelacanths? There are only three places in the world where they have been seen alive, and Indonesia is one of them. ... but they are very deep. 

 


The Bunaken National Marine Park is a short boat ride from Manado, North Sulawesi
Bunaken National Park

I dived the Bunaken National Park  in 2005. 

Diving is done from small wooden, canopied boats.  There are many dive sites around Bunaken Island and the other surrounding Islands.  They are principally walls, festooned with colourful corals and teeming with a high variety of reef fish.  Currents can be very strong so it is common to have many reef shark sightings. The reefs start at about 5 metres and can drop down to over 800 metres. Visibility is generally in the 20-30 metre range and water temps of 28/30 degrees.  You can also experience muck diving on black volcanic sand where you can spot weird and wonderful critters.  Visibility comes down to around 15 metres.

You also have to buy a Marine Park ticket, which from memory was about US$6 a day.  Well worth it.
