Bunaken is a diver’s paradise – located in the heart of the Coral Triangle, the marine park is internationally recognised for its rich marine biodiversity, and underwater topography. Divers and snorkelers will be introduced to a wide variety of fish life, exceptional reef systems and coral walls, with a huge variety of colourful corals, and many, many turtles.
Supported by our fully equipped PADI 5-Star Dive Centre, specialising in recreational diving, freediving and technical diving, guests enjoy access to professional facilities and a full range of courses, ensuring a seamless diving journey within a refined, exclusive setting.
Our guided boat dives explore every corner of the Bunaken Marine National Park, with many of the 90+ dive sites just minutes from the resort. Every experience is tailored to your level and interests, whether you’re taking your first PADI course, exploring the park on recreational dives, discovering the world of freediving, advancing your technical or CCR diving skills, or enjoying the exclusivity of a private boat and guide. Night dives and blackwater dives reveal an entirely different underwater world after dark, while underwater photographers will find endless opportunities to capture everything from rare macro critters to vibrant coral reefscapes.

"We spent 12 nights at Oasis and honestly would have loved to stay longer! Even before we checked in, the team already impressed us. While we were still in Manado, they helped us organize a tour to the National Park and even rearranged our transfer. Fantastic service!"
"The diving was truly spectacular. We had three kids with us and they are now all certified and absolutely love diving. If you want to fall in love with diving, or want your friends and family to fall in love with diving, this is the place. The dive instructors were all first class. The dive sites were beautiful and full of life. Tons of turtles, puffers, and we even saw some baby sharks sleeping."

There is nothing quite like a peaceful evening on the water.
Join us as we set sail to chase the sunset. Imagine drifting across serene seas, enjoying delicate bites and a refreshing drink while gentle melodies drift through the evening breeze.

Instead of the long, thin, and spiny antennae you see on other crustaceans, slipper lobsters have evolved short, broad, flat plates on their heads. These thick plates are what give them their flattened, "slipper-like" appearance, and they use them almost like shields for defense and tools for foraging along the sand.
