Dive Sites
On my very first dive I saw an orange frog fish, flying
gurnards and a juvenile batfish. Mind you, the eagle eyes
of the dive guide had a lot to do with these sightings.
Police Pier, Hairball and Nudi Falls are just
some of the dive sites you will want to go back to, over
and over again. But if you are missing corals, I would suggest
an afternoon dive at the house reef (yes, there actually
is a reef, small as it may be).

The Resort
This small resort has such a welcoming atmosphere that
you feel right at home, before you had a chance to
unpack your suitcase and gear bag. Situated right on the
water's edge, the resort is built with natural, local materials
and blends perfectly into the surrounding coconut grove.
Accommodation
Cottages are nicely spaced to guarantee privacy. They are
very spacious and with a couple of ceiling fans and the
windows wide open, air conditioning is not really necessary.
Although some of the Cottage Suites are having air con installed.
Tastefully furnished with plenty of natural woods, the rooms
are very welcoming.
To ensure that guests unwind completely, there are no telephones
or TV in the rooms. However, if you suffer withdrawal symptoms,
a TV with cable channels can be found in the main building
above the restaurant.
Dive Shop
Early in 2004 Eco Divers, Northern Sulawesi's only
PADI 5 Star Gold Palm IDC facility, started running the
dive operation at KBR, which means that there will
be an overall upgrading of dive boats and rental gear. Eco
Divers brought with them Steve as the very experienced dive
operations manager. Your gear will be set up and washed
down for you by the very helpful and friendly dive crews.
All you will need to look after is your camera equipment.
Photo/Video Facilities
A lockable camera room with plenty of shelves provides
enough space for everyone. There are numerous powerpoints,
allowing chargers etc to be plugged into. Remember to bring
an adapter as Indonesian sockets take two round pins.
Activities
Apart from eating, diving, eating, diving and sleeping
it is also possible to arrange for local tours, a visit
to the Bitung markets or maybe a massage. The friendly reception
staff will assist you, with a smile.
Kungkungan
Bay Resort, or KBR, is a first class dive resort located
in Northern Sulawesi, Indonesia. The resort is famous for
two things: The term 'fine diving' and fantastic critter
diving in the Lembeh Strait. Some like to say the resort
is only for "muck" diving, but this is misleading.
There is also fantastic coral and wall diving as well as
3 WW II wrecks.
