Diving

Currently we have no dive center of our own and we work together with a good equipped dive center also located at Pangalisang Beach close to the Bunaken SeaGarden Resort. Small groups, local experienced dive guides, good maintained equipment and relaxed diving.

Most of the dive sites are only a short boat trip away and Siladen or the coast of the mainland are also often visited for a dive. The helpful guides will make your diving experience an unforgettable one. For the more distant dive sites such as Mantehage and Bangka a fuel surcharge will be applicable.

Snorkeling

The SeaGarden Resort is perfectly located for snorkeling. The famous Bunaken Timur reef is right in front of our resort and is one of the best snorkel spots of Bunaken Island. You will be amazed by the colors and beauty you can find there.

Our comfortable boat "The Honesty" with 2 x 40 hp engines can be rented for snorkeling tours and other trips. Mask, fins and snorkel can also be rented at the resort.

The Marine Park

Oceanic currents explain, in part, why Bunaken National Marine Park has such a high level of corals, fish, echinoderms or sponges, 7 of the 8 species of giant clams that occur in the world, occur in Bunaken and 70% of all fish species known to the Indo-western Pacific.  

The waters are up to 1,566 m deep with temperatures ranging between 27 to 29 °C.  The Park is one of Indonesia's most famous diving and snorkeling areas and it draws visitors from all over the world.
