Destination: North Sulawesi, Indonesia

At the heart of the Coral Triangle, Indonesia is the epicentre of marine biodiversity on our planet. Incredible diving and spectacular underwater sightings go effortlessly hand in hand with outstanding resorts offering beautiful villas, fine dining and top class service.

North Sulawesi in particular offers the perfect chance to experience an exceptional combination of dive styles. A true feast for the senses… prepare to be spellbound by turtles (many, many turtles!), frogfish, colourful nudibranch, pygmy seahorses, dolphins, huge gorgonians, reef sharks, rays, ghost pipefish, mandarin fish, wonderpus and mimic octopus… and much, much more.

Your host for the trip: Duxy

At the forefront of underwater photography and dive travel for many years, Duxy brings with him a light-hearted take on the diving world and how it has changed the way we now take underwater photographs and video. He spends his time helping people to choose and use cameras, housings, strobes and lenses, escorting trips and running workshops around the world.

Duxy has led many successful trips for Diverse Travel and guests are always complimentary about his personalised advice on photo, video, processing and production. The diving is usually taken at a relaxed pace; perfect for divers who like to take things easy, photo enthusiasts looking for more time to polish that photo opportunity, and to soak up the sunshine and scenery above and below the water.

Guests benefit not just from Duxy’s knowledge and tuition, but also from the top class diving and photography facilities at both resorts.
