Resort Santika Thalassa
Manado, North Sulawesi
Our
5 Star PADI Dive Center is located on the premises of Seaside Resort
Santika, a four star resort, 15 kilometers north of Manado, the capital
of North Sulawesi. We offer diving in North-Sulawesi’s 4 unique
underwater environments in a relaxed and safe manner. Small groups,
experienced guides  and
flexible scheduling ensure a once-in-a-lifetime holiday.
Diving
North
Sulawesi was almost exclusively discovered by divers. Why, is obvious;
it is one of the richest and most diverse area’s in the world.
Specialists claim that in Bunaken National Park alone, one can find
over 58 different genera and sub-genera of corals and an estimated
2000 species of fish. This count becomes even higher if you add the
extra species that can be found in the Bangka Archipelago and Lembeh
Strait.
Because
three big water masses come together here; the Pacific Ocean, the
Sulawesi Sea and the  Indian
Ocean, they bring a wealth of nutrition to feed the numerous species.
The tidal currents and the diversity in underwater “landscape”
also contribute to the richness of this underwater paradise.
Roughly
we can divide North Sulawesi in 4 different dive area’s; Bunaken
National Park, North side (the islands Bunaken, Siladen, Manado Tua,
Mantehague, Nain and Nain Kecil, as well as 12 kilometers of coastal
area.); Bunaken National Park South side (Popooh); the Bangka Archipelago
and the Lembeh Strait.
In
total the area offers over 150 dive sites and is suitable for any
level of experience.
