Dive Bunaken with Eco Divers Manado

We have been diving Bunaken National Park since 2001, operating out of Manado as well as the Lembeh Strait. Kima Bajo Resort & Spa is conveniently situated just a short transfer from Manado Airport and is right on the shores of Bunaken. We can also offer guests the chance to dive Lembeh and Bangka from here - a marvellous opportunity to dive two completely different, and equally wonderful, environments; the dramatic and beautiful drop-offs of Bunaken and the fascinating, critter-rich volcanic sands of Lembeh. Kima Bajo is an upscale resort in an exotic location and offering accommodation in a range of bungalows and villas to suit most budgets. Good food, friendly staff, Spa treatments and beach-front swimming pool all go to adding that little extra special something to your holiday. Come and experience this fantastic diving combination - it is unbeatable.

Phil C from Brighton, England had such a good time that he posted his comments on Trip Advisor.

"The dive centre is attached to the resort and very well managed. They offer a great service and take care of all your needs. You never dive with more than 4 divers per guide and the guides are all very experienced and very good at finding the smaller life on the reef which it is easy to miss."
