Diving Tiwoho, near Manado

nick-manadoThe village of Tiwoho lies on the Sulawesi mainland just outside Manado and is a short ride by boat from Bunaken Island. The reef in front of the village makes an excellent dive site featuring some interesting small critters. This video features a school of striped eel catfish, a juvenile ribbon eel, juvenile sweetlips, nudibranchs, a horned starfish, a juvenile ribbon eel, a juvenile sweetlips, orange anemonefish, striped shrimpfish and an ornate ghost pipefish as well as spectacular hard corals in the shallows.

Bunaken Village topside

nick-bunaken-girl While taking a break from scuba diving on Bunaken Island I had the privilege of visiting the delightful Bunaken village where Muslims and Christians live together in harmony. The village kids were fascinated by their own image on my video camera's flip screen. View video


Night Diving on Bunaken Island

The video features a starry moray eel, a blackspotted pufferfish, a stareye parrotfish, nudibranchs, an ocellated dwarf lionfish, tassled scorpionfish, and many crustaceans including a decorator crab, a sponge crab, a hermit crab, a spiny lobster and a marble shrimp.

Bunaken Timur and Sachiko's Point

nick-napoleon-wrasse Bunaken Timur lies on the east coast of Bunaken Island, the same side as Two Fish Divers' resort. Sachiko's Point is nearby at the north-east corner. Both are typical Bunaken wall dives featuring a wealth of marine life. The video features napoleon wrasse, a spotted eagle ray, nudibranchs, a school of striped bonito, banded boxer shrimps, striped eel catfish, a whitemouth moray eel, a banded sea snake, a blackspotted pufferfish, and fairy basslets. The tops of the walls are covered in spectacular hard corals. View video


Manado shipwreck and Tanjung Pisok

nick-clown-frogfish The Molas shipwreck was a Dutch cargo vessel sunk during WWII near Molas beach, just outside the town of Manado. The deepest part of the wreck lies in 40m water. A school of longfin batfish circles the top of the wreck. At nearby Tanjung Pisok, also on the Sulawesi mainland, we meet organgutan crabs and a delightful tiny clown frogfish (Antennarius maculatus). View video


Lekuan I & II, Bunaken Island

nick-green-turtle Lekuan I & II are classic wall dives on the south side of Bunaken Island. Several large green turtles (Chelonia mydas) sleep on ledges on the walls here. Diagonal-banded sweetlips and pelagics like mackerel tuna pass by in the blue. We also meet a clown triggerfish, a bluefaced angelfish being shadowed by a trumpetfish, a lemon damsel, a whitespotted boxfish, a doublebar goatfish and pink anemonefish. A common lionfish hovers over the hard corals in the shallows. View video


Alung Banua, Mandolin & Manado Tua

nick-manado-tua Manado Tua, meaning "old Manado", is a dormant volcanic island lying north of Bunaken Island. The video opens with the swim-throughs at Alung Banua on Bunaken Island itself and footage from Mandolin. We then visit Negeri and Bualo on the southern coast of Manado Tua where we meet nudbranchs, an anemone shrimp, leaf scorpionfish, damselfish, different species of anemonefish, a red fire goby and a christmas tree worm.
