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.

Meet the true royalty of the reef. The Hawksbill turtle gracefully glides through vibrant ocean sanctuaries, wearing a shell so exquisite it has inspired centuries of awe.
Ever wondered who keeps the coral reefs looking so immaculate? These gorgeous creatures spend their days tending to underwater gardens, ensuring every reef blooms in full beauty.
Draped in natural gold and amber hues, the Hawksbill possesses a shell unlike any other in the sea. Every single pattern is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece crafted by nature.

It is a very special milestone for our resort family as we proudly announce that our Dive Guide Trainee Batch 1 of 2026 has officially graduated and earned their PADI Rescue Diver certificates.
For about six months, they trained closely under the guidance of our three resort diving instructors, Didi (@didiburahimaburahima ), Feibe (@fei_bee93 ), and Mei (@diver_gendut ). Through a wonderful collaboration with @notrashtriangle , they learned how to contribute and be more responsible in maintaining the underwater biodiversity of Bunaken.
We want to express our deepest thanks to Leon, Fharel, and Genardo for following this program with so much dedication from start to finish.
Looking to the future, our greatest hope is that they become dive guides who carry full responsibility and awareness in protecting Bunaken’s underwater nature. By doing so, they will help us ensure that sustainable tourism continues to be applied here for years to come. Congratulations!
