We had a fantastic trip, diving for 5 days with Bunaken Oasis in November 2023. We had bluebird skies and pristine waters. The corals were healthy and stunningly beautiful. There was abundant and thriving marine life and the biodiversity was amazing- we sighted turtles, schooling fishes, nudibranchs, pygmy seahorses, bump head parrot fishes, Napoleon wrasses, puffer fishes, reef octopuses, moray eels, and lots more! It was very heartening to hear about the conservation efforts made by Bunaken Oasis, in collaboration with the local community and other dive resorts, to protect and preserve this amazing marine reserve. The dive operations at Bunaken Oasis was highly organised and well run- a fleet of fairly new and well maintained dive boats, good equipment for rental, a squeaky clean compressor room, professional dive masters and a properly equipped photography room. Warm towels, hot drinks, fruit and a shower after each dive. Our dive equipment and gear were washed and laid out for us every day and at the end of the dive trip, we received a complete log of all our dives. We were so thrilled to find out that our dive master, Hentje Pontoh had gain international recognition for discovering a pygmy seahorse species, the Hippocampus pontohi! At every turn, we were met by staff with welcoming smiles, warm conversations and exemplary service. Food ( including freshly baked breads and viennoiserie) and cocktails at the restaurant were excellent! On two nights, we were serenaded by the restaurant team with their amazing voices over dinner. A big thank you to the wonderful team at Bunaken Oasis for making our trip memorable, particularly Kelly, Simon, Antell, Christine, Ivonne, Robby, Suzy, Goosty and Hentje! We are looking forward to returning next year!
