Redefining Diving

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.

This World Habitat Day, we are celebrating the underwater homes that make our oceans thrive. Join Jacob as he heads into the Bunaken lagoon to maintain our coral nursery. We love inviting our resort guests to participate in this hands-on conservation by collecting coral broken by waves, divers, or turtles, and planting them on our metal nursery structures. This gives the fragile fragments the time and space they need to grow before we transplant them back onto the natural reef.

Gliding over an Acropora garden feels like drifting through an enchanted underwater forest.

These delicate, branching corals are the true architects of the shallow reef. Their graceful shapes weave together to create peaceful nurseries where tiny reef fish, colorful nudibranchs, and sea turtles find safety and nourishment.

We can all be gracious guests in their home by streamlining our dive profiles, choosing reef safe rituals on land, and giving these living treasures the space they need to flourish.
