Lembeh Straits 

Lembeh Straits is known as the muck diving capital of the world and is one of the few places in the world where you will see the elusive hairy frog fish, pygmy sea horses, larger sea horses like the thorny seahorse, mimic octopus, wunderpus and flamboyant cuttlefish to name a few.

Muck dives consist of sandy black slopes with visibility about 10-15m. It is a macro-photographers dream, as the slopes are teaming of all sorts of fascinating critters and the black sand reduces back-glare. 

Lembeh also has some fascinating ship wrecks. They are covered in both corals and creatures making them fantastic to explore.

Bangka 

Bangka is a combination from both the wall diving in Bunaken and muck diving in Lembeh. There are more than 40 dives sites around Bangka Archipelago which are 5 to 30 minutes boat ride from Bastianos Bangka Dive Resort. The house reef is popular as one of the best dive site in the area with a long reef and good for drifting dives.

You will experience healthy reefs both soft and hard corals, amazing underwater pinnacles, walls, caves, sea grass bottom or sandy bays with a high diversity of marine life. Dolphins and Dugongs also sometime spotted in the area.

Bunaken Island

Bunaken Island is one of 5 islands that make up the Bunaken Marine Park and the diving is on dramatic drop-offs mixed with sloping areas and beautiful coral gardens at the tops of the reef that offer a home to an abundance of reef fish and critters that is great for both beginners and experienced divers.  

Clear, warm waters (sea temperatures usually range between 27-30 C), light currents and calm seas allow us easy access to the underwater world. From Bunaken it's is a 45min boat ride back to Manado.
