Bunaken Diving

The Manado dive area and Bunaken Island are among the highlights of Indonesia scuba diving and have earned plaudits throughout the world. Bunaken is part of the Bunaken National Marine Park, located in Manado in the province of North Sulawesi, Indonesia features some 2 dozen diving sites spread across an area of 75,000 hectares. The five islands of Bunaken, Manado Tua, Siladen, Montehage and Nain are part of the Indo-Pacific region which supports the highest marine biodiversity on earth.

The waters of Bunaken National Marine Park are extremely deep (1566 m in Manado Bay), with sparkling clear (up to 35-40 m visibility), warm tropical water (27 to 29 °C). Bunaken diving is very popular with fun; divers can take great pleasure from the diversity of coral and fish found here. You will surely encounter marine life here that you have not come across elsewhere.

To dive in the deep waters of the Bunaken National Marine Park in Manado is to be among some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world, with outstanding fish variety and world-class wall diving. The clear, warm waters contain astonishingly high numbers of species where 7 of the 8 species of giant clams that occur in the world occur in Bunaken. The park has around 70 genera of corals. Although the exact number of fish species is unknown, it may be slightly higher than 2,500 species, or more than 70% of all fish species known to the Indo-western Pacific, are found.

The most notable recent find within the park was in 1997, when the coelacanth was discovered living in the lava tubes of Manado Tua. This 'living fossil' fish brought international attention to Bunaken. Unusual mammals that can be seen include dugongs, which feed on the sea grass beds in the south of the park, and sperm whales, which travel through the area on their way to calve in the Sangihe Archipelago.

The most comfortable season to visit Bunaken is April to November
