hi anyone has dove sangihe-talaud (mahangetang) near bunaken? if yes, the question is whether it is in which island is the best place to stay (to avoid a liveaboard). thanks

Hi. This is just to let you know that Shark Rescue, a new campaign that was launched a few months ago, is now holding a contest. It's pretty sweet.

The prize is that you can pick any of the S.M.Y. Ondina's 10+ day diving cruises in Indonesia -- Raja Ampat, Komodo and more. The boat is a wooden sailing live-aboard and the routes and dive spots are amazing.

Two grand prizes will be chosen on 1 February 2010, not even 3 months away. To register, all you have to do is pick up Shark Rescue's 3-Card Pack, a set of three postcards you can mail in to the one leader who can make the biggest difference for protecting sharks and the balance of the oceans (Hong Kong's trade in shark-fin accounts for over 50% of the trade, so getting Hong Kong to stop is crucial).

Just visit www.sharkrescue.com/contests for details.

Thanks!

We have a new affordable liveaboard (starting at $105 per day all inclusive) which can take you to all corners of the Wakatobi Marine National Park in South East Sulawesi. This offers great diving and until now has been a very difficult area to reach. Hoever there are now daily flights (except Mondays) with Express Air from Jakarta, Surabaya, and Makassar to Bau-Bau and Wanci.

We have some great promotional offers so please check out our website for more details. Bring a group of friends and you could get your liveaboard trip totally free! More details and pictures:

Thanks and hope you find this info interesting!

I have been visiting and diving on Bunaken/North Sulawesi since 9 years now. On my web page you’ll find a lot of information and advice, among others a description of the difference between cheap resorts and luxury ones with a price range from 10 Euro up to 85 Euro p.P.p.N.>>

Beer and wine are available and quite expensive, as they have to be purchased from Sorong, which itself has to fly everything in from mainland Indonesia. Beer is around $3.50 a can and wine $35 a bottle. its prefered that you bring your own.

Laundry done for free, We visited four main areas on the 11 day cruise along western Papua in Indonesia: Raja Ampat’s Kri and Misool islands, Fak Fak and Triton Bay. All of these places are justifiably famous for jawdropping coral reefs and fish life. The Bird’s Head Peninsula of Western Papua (the sticky out bit in which Sorong is located) has been scientifically assessed to have the greatest marine biodiversity in the world. For divers, this means it’s an unparalleled experience in terms of the sheer overwhelming number of marine species you can spot whilst diving. Indeed, scores of new species have been discovered here, some so new they still don’t have names, and some so bizarre you’d think the scientists are making it up.

While Raja’s remoteness used to mean it was a deeply obscure destination, the word is now out. Hardly a month goes by without a rave review in one of the dive magazines. Despite requiring multiple flights on domestic Indonesian airlines to get there, Raja has seen a big growth in liveaboard and resort operators in the last couple of years.

Also with very comfortable wooden cabins with double or twin beds. Air conditioning. Marine toilets. Hot showers. Portholes.

If i tried to tell you all i will not stop, it was a non-forgetable trip.

Enjoy it budy and safe diving.

That sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Pat.
