Bunaken In Indonesia 

www.bunakenchacha.com

Located just north of Sulawesi Island in Indonesia, under the surface, lays Indonesia's best dive and snorkel site. This dive site is part of the Bunaken Marine National Park and in a single dive, people are able to see 70% of the Pacific's fish species. Not to shabby for a single dive site.

Expect to see:
  • Fishies! Lots of small reef fish flitting in and out of crevasses 
  • Sea horses
  • frog fish
  • mimic octopus (coolest thing with 8 legs)
  • cuddle fish 

Type of Dive
  • Due to the cooler waters of Indonesia, wet suits are advised, sad :(  
  • There are dive sites around Bunaken that are not beginner friendly - strong currents and deeper waters 
  • But most dive sites here range from 30 - 50 meters deep
  • There are snorkel sites so if the little ones aren't comfortable or certified they are still able to enjoy the wild life
Fun tip:
The closer you stay to the bottom of your dive site, the less current pressure you will feel.
