April 2009 We had some nice dives at Bunaken, mainly wall dives. Coral is in good condition and we saw the occasional pelagics like Black Tip Reef Sharks.

April 2007 I think this place must have been wonderful in its heyday, unfortunately it looks like that day has passed. I would describe it as a poor-mans-red-sea-without-the-fish-life. Apparently you used to be able to see sharks and hundreds of reef fish etc etc as little as a few years ago. The coral still looked pretty good and the vis wasn’t too bad (bearing in mind that we’d just come from Lembeh Strait where the vis & coral is poo but the creature life is amazing) but there just wasn’t much to look at! Basically I think its just been majorly over fished. Glad we only stayed a few days.

April 2007 Great wall diving with Bastianos. Wonderful corals. Lots of nudibranch.
