Relax and dive Manado, Bunaken and Lembeh
with Bunaken's only PADI Gold Palm IDC Dive Resort
Two Fish Divers Bunaken is a small and friendly
PADI Gold Palm IDC dive resort that is located on Bunaken
Island, Manado, North Sualwesi. We are based right in the
heart of the world famous Bunaken Marine Park, and this offers
some of the best diving in Indonesia with beautiful corals,
lots of fish, amazing small critters, and some larger fish
such as reef shark, turtles and barracuda.
Our beach-front dive resort is run by European PADI Instructors, and with only
7 wooden cottages, 2 beach rooms and 2 budget cottages we
only cater for 20-22 divers, so we offer an un-crowded and
flexible dive holiday.
Fun Diving - we have our own dive boats
with friendly and professional crew, and local Divemasters
who have done thousands of dives on the reefs. We organise
daily boat trips to the magnificent walls of the Bunaken National
Marine Park, as well as the critter-filled slopes on the
mainland and in Manado Bay. As members of a local conservation
organisation, all our crew are environmnetally aware, and
this is helped with our policy of small dive groups - we have
no more than 4 guests per Divemaster, often less.
PADI Dive Courses - we have very experienced
European PADI instructors who offer the full range of dive
courses from beginner level (PADI Open Water) through to professional
level (PADI Divemaster and Instructor). All courses are run
on demand in small groups, and all course-dives take place
on real dive sites around Bunaken - it is not uncommon to
see turtles and shark on your training dives, and one of our
open water students even spotted a dugong and an eagle ray
on her first open water dive! IDCs - check out our IDC schedule for May and September every year.
Getting ready to descend
European Management - Two Fish Bunaken is managed by Tina and Nigel, English PADI & BSAC instructors with many years of diving and teaching experience. They have been living and diving in Manado, Bunaken and Lembeh for more than eight years, and they run Two Fish Divers as they would like it if they went on a dive holiday - small and personal with really friendly staff.
Two
Fish Lembeh - we now have a small resort on Lembeh Island,
right in the middle of the Lembeh Straits. Bunaken and Lembeh are
only 2-3 hours apart, so you can dive two special areas with one
dive operator - exploring the award winning reefs of Bunaken Marine
Park and hunting for amazing critters in Lembeh Straits, the muck
diving capital of the world. Find out more about diving in Lembeh Straits.

No Crowds - as a small operator, we only cater for 20-22 divers in Bunaken and 6-8 divers in Lembeh, therefore there are no crowds at the resort. We also do not like diving in crowds - we keep our guide-to-divers ratio small by having less than 4 customers per Divemaster, and our wooden dive boats are not crowded as we cater for a certain max number of divers at one time.
Great Dive Service
Small groups of no more than 4 guests per dive guide. Expert diveguides who have done thousands of dives in each area. They are all rescue trained, and we have oxygen and first aid on every dive boat. Organise dive groups according to air consumption and dive experience. Friendly crew with the boat crew and dive guides. They speak great english, and provide a great service above and below the sea. No time limits on dives, we just ask you to surface on 40bar.
Just Perfect - we have 7 Divemasters and when possible we will try and offer your own dive guide, this is just perfect for:
couples who want to just dive together
beginners who are worried about “holding back” the dive group
photographers who want to dive away from the group
Beach Cottages/Rooms - accommodation is in wooden cottages or rooms that are clean and comfortable, have fan and western-style toilets, and are right in front of the beach. Facilities on Bunaken Island include 24 hour electricity, computers for viewing pictures and burning cd's, large balconies with hammocks for relaxing, internet service and a book swap facility.

How did some of our previous guests enjoy it?
"I could have stayed there. It was so HARD to leave. It paid off to stay 2 weeks. The dive help became really friendly and close. If we stayed 3 weeks you probably couldn't get rid of me! .. we will be back for sure ... Thank you for our best vacation ever. Really!"
