About this dive site
Quiet island north of Bunaken with reefs and critters without Manado crowds.
Bangka Island sits north of the Bunaken-Manado coast with coral slopes, occasional currents and macro on rubble patches. Day boats from Manado or resort stays pair well with Bunaken walls and Lembeh strait muck on longer Sulawesi trips.
Bangka day boats depend on Manado weather; pair with Bunaken walls on a longer North Sulawesi loop.
