The best value dive holiday at Bunaken
 You
can't go past Tasik Ria Resort if you are looking
for a great diving holiday and value for money!
Dive Sites
Bunaken National Park offers some 25 dive sites
spread around 5 different islands. The health of the Reefs,
the incredible bio-diversity, some of the best wall and
drift diving you can imagine; this is a place where you
will run out of time before you run out of dive spots.
Our first dive was at Lekuan 3, a lovely wall dive with
great visibility and an abundance of corals and fishes.
Not too deep, a gentle introduction to diving at Bunaken.
A more challenging dive is Pangulingan at Manado Tua. Quite
strong currents (simply cross your arms and legs and enjoy
the ride), but that brings with it the chance for encounters
with some of the "big fellows", if you are lucky
you may even see a hammerhead shark.

 The
Resort
Superbly situated close to the numerous reefs of Bunaken
National Park, this is a small, comfortable resort, where
the guest's comfort is of prime importance. Set in beautiful
landscaped gardens, it is not difficult to unwind in this
tropical paradise. After a hard day's diving, a cocktail
at the poolside bar just hits the mark. However, should
you not make it as far as that, there is always the Sunset
Jetty Bar, not only offering nice cold Bintang and scrumptious
cocktails, but you also get, totally free of charge, the
most stunning sunsets, ever!

from an international standard resort.
