Lekker Gezellig Dive Resort

Tucked into a mangrove forest, Lekker Gezellig Dive Resort is a tranquil, small-scale and private oasis on the doorstep of Bunaken National Park. A unique bamboo footbridge leads straight from the resort to the sea, where you can dive, snorkel and earn your PADI certificates. As a PADI Resort with an onsite training pool and classroom, it's a relaxed base for divers of every level — and most dive sites sit no more than 15 minutes away, or right in front of the resort itself.

Diving Bunaken & Siladen

Expert PADI dive guides lead diving and snorkelling excursions through crystal-clear waters alive with colourful coral reefs, majestic sea turtles and exotic fish. Sharks and rays, ocean fish, turtles, whales and other marine life all call these waters home, and a dolphin tour adds another way to explore.

The waterfront location offers a house reef, dive boat, air fills, Nitrox, and scuba, kids' and Scooter (DPV) rental, plus conservation activities. With English, Dutch and Indonesian spoken, it suits travellers who want diving paired with birdwatching, village visits and Sulawesi's wider highlands.
