Manado is the provincial capital of North Sulawesi and is among the highlights of diving in Indonesia and has earned plaudits throughout the world. When you are scuba diving in Bunaken National Marine Park you’ll witness some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world, with outstanding fish variety and world-class wall diving. You will find many unusual species, for example the prehistoric fish “coelacanth” as well as some household names: reef-shark, turtles, eagle rays, napoleon wrasse, even dugong and orca!  The clear, warm waters contain astonishingly high numbers of species, whether corals, sponges or fish.

While staying and diving from Cocotinos Resort, you can see 7 times more genera of coral than Hawaii, 33 species of butterflyfish and over 70% of all fish species known to the Indo-western Pacific.  Because of the ocean currents flowing through Bunaken Island, it brings a steady supply of nutrients. This insures there are plenty of food in the sea, supplying the perfect environment for the abundance of marine life.

Bunaken Marine Park is the centre of Manado diving and is adored by marine biologists, photographers and recreational divers alike since the richness of its waters ensure that no 2 dive are the same and that there is always plenty to see, study, photograph and marvel at.
