BUNAKEN.
Bunaken Marine Park was one of the first marine parks in Indonesia and includes Bunaken, Siladen, Manado Tua, Mantehage, and Nain Island. The area has outstanding marine biodiversity with staggering coral walls around Bunaken, the more recently discovered muck diving sites in Manado Bay and the stunning reefs around Bangka which, whilst not part of the park, are celebrated for their stunning soft corals, dugongs and marine biodiversity. Bright blue waters, abundant marine life, healthy reefs, a thriving turtle population, resident dolphins and migrating pilot and sperm whales are definite highlights.
GORONTALO (Tomini Bay)
The sheltered nature of the waters that surround this area is very conducive to a high diversity of species and makes liveaboard diving in Gorontalo ideal. The general calmness allows what would normally be considered a deep water species, to be present even on shallow dive sites. Many species are in fact endemic to the region, such as the orange-backed wrasse, sling-jaw wrasse, and Colemanís shrimp (which was only recently discovered and identified as a new species). This provides a fantastic opportunity for divers seeking to cross off certain species from their bucket list, as they might only be found here.
Naturally, there are many sites to choose from on your Gorontalo cruise, and it is normal for several dives to be exploratory dives. However, some of the known sites include Honeycomb, a spectacular wall dive with colourful sponges and pink hydroids. The difficult to spot sailfin goby can also be found here, as well as an impressive 4 of the 7 species of sea turtle. Gorontalo bay (Tomini) is a special place for see the whale shark,orca and sperm whale. Gorontalo have Concentrate coral reef and pelagis dive site,Baracuda scholing and scholing jack fish, also the good site for macro dive photography.
There are several wrecks here, and certainly a great deal of wrecks have yet to be discovered. One particular wreck, a 165 foot (50 m) Japanese cargo ship crashed into a reef following a fire breakout in the engine compartment. An attempt was made to run the ship aground to save the cargo, but the shallow reef scuppered the ship and all her cargo was lost. Despite this, the hull remains in fairly good condition, albeit upside down, lying at a depth between 85 and 154 feet (26 to 47 m). The wreck is now home to many crustaceans, dotted in between the sea fans and whips that cover the hull. Very big starfish are common here, as are large shoals of bright blue and orange anthias.
