Why I love Bunaken Sulawesi

Bunaken diving

Some places I just keep returning to and Bunaken island in North Sulawesi is one of them. I first dived these waters about 20 years ago and the marine life here is still superb. Add in a super friendly chilled vibe on the island and you’ve got the perfect recipe. And the good news is that the turtle population around Bunaken is increasing thanks to total protection here. There’s more turtles than there has ever been here and on one dive this morning I saw 21 !!! I’ve put a short video clip below of some of the marine life we saw this morning on just 2 dives. You can see both Hawksbill and Green turtles in Bunaken. For more information about these beautiful animals and an easy way to tell the difference between these two species click here. My personal recommendation to dive in Bunaken is Two Fish diver – really lovely friendly people.
