For a few days, we made the Santika resort in Manado our base. The main attraction here are the coral reefs and marine life around the island of Bunaken. The waters of Bunaken National Marine Park are extremely deep (1566 m in Manado Bay), clear (up to 35-40 m visibility), refreshing in temperature (27-29 C) and harbor some of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world.
Yesterday, the boys and I made two snorkeling trips. The first one was great, the second one was cut short by surface trash and jellyfish. To escape these in the future, we did an introductory diving course today. Greg and Sammy received their official PADI bubblemaker certificate.
