Charter Boats ~ no details |
Indonesia contains many islands, large and small, so there
are a lot of diving opportunities. At present we only have a few contacts so we suggest you contact the
live-aboard operators for
their routes. If you have any dive centre contacts please let us know -
thank you. Bali : Borneo : Flores : Java : Jawa : Komodo Island : Palau : Papua : Papua New Guinea : Similans : Solomon Islands : Sulawesi : Sumatra : Thailand Timor |

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. |
