Diving in Manado

Manado is the provincial capital and also a great jumping-off point for dives both in Manado itself and in nearby Bunaken National Marine Park and Bangka Island. Here you will find some of the best coral reefs to dive in South-East Asia as well as amazing variety. Expect great macro in Manado, from shrimps to nudibranch, beautiful walls of coral to explore in Bunaken as well as turtles gliding by and even white-tip reef sharks, while pinnacles of soft coral define Bangka Island, where you can spot everything from seahorses to sharks and eagle rays.
