this place (North Sulawesi, Manado, Bunaken Island) was awesome.
If would like to compare with sipadan Island, I'll rather visit Manado.
why?? cheap price with good service, good visibility until get FOC DECO
:p~~~ round trip spend 330euro plus minus, what say you??
imagine, most of the Bunaken dive site are wall dive, easily dive at
30-40 meter where you are not aware until you check your dept gauge,
cause the visibility are awesome clear, average visibility are from 25
meter to 40 meter. you still able to see the surface wave while u are
at 30 meter underwater. is really cool….
discover giant turtle family, but we manage to meet father n son, no
chance to shack hand with grandpa as he went for medical checkup :p~~~
lolz….. only discover 1 anemone coral with 2 nemo (orange clown) father
n son are having high tea, the rest are giant black nemo which very
offensive when taking their photo (lanci!!), sea horse with baby fat or
carry mini michelin tire or beer tummy (maybe happy hours every day n
night) n other nice underwater creature.
5d4n trip with 9 dives just fit n comfortable, 1 day 2 dives, max is 3
dives + unlimited shore dive. die hard team will die at the end, lolz…
resort was clean with balcony + hammock, expect the water is a bit
salty. mat salleh owner n the crew are very friendly n helpful.
restaurant food was delicious especially they make the tomato mixed
chili gravy just for us. a bottle coke was cold n cost rp15k = rm4, as
my word of mouth: 同巨死过 (hard core challenge) …
overall, we had good holiday n we all enjoy very much. a lot of fun
even while during underwater time. like we had DECO king n queen where
need DECO stop at least 18 minutes, big head prawn who do back roll
entry without wearing fin, only release when can’t swim forward
underwater, careless queen who lost her underwater camera, DECO dive
till low on air 20 bar n need buddy share air, dive computer banned
DECO queen for
diving cause didn’t complete the DECO stop with
“beepppp” sound, dive computer jammed after 36 meters n so on. lolz…..
TQ to chloe who organize this trip n shawn for the lovely underwater picture. very very much appreciate. Hope we
could have more fun trip in future….. live to dive :p~~~
