Indonesia Dive Holidays
North Sulawesi Dive Holidays
One of the world’s best yet least known dive destinations.
North Sulawesi Dive Holidays offers a year-round diving with excellent average visibility (25m) and home to many unusual species, for example the prehistoric fish ‘coelacanth’ as well as reef shark, turtles, eagle rays, Napoleon wrasse, even dugong and orca! Most sites are reached within one hour from your hotel and yet the remote location means they’re never crowded.
Most of the reefs of the Bunaken National Marine Park are rich and unspoilt, with pristine and abundant soft coral and fish life. The night diving is spectacular and there’s a WWII wreck.
