The Beauty
of Bunaken
Bunaken is one of
indonesia`s most famous dive areas, and it attracts scuba divers from all over
the world. In addition to Bunaken itself, a rather featureless banana-shaped
island, the national park includes the neighboring islands of Manado Tua, a
distinctive cone-shaped extinct volcano, Siladen, Montehagen, Nain, and Nain
Kecil.
Bunaken is barely a
degree above the equator and thus tropical. The “ Rainy Season “ from November
to mid April, brings frequent rains, sometimes in strong storms lasting for
several days, which make the air nice and cool but also reduce visibility. The
“ Dry Season “ from May to Oktober, when temperatures climb to 35m and
visibility reaches a maximum. Bunaken receives far less rain than the mainland
and is well ventilated with sea breezes.
The park is famed for
the clarity of its water ( 35m visibility is common in the summer dry season ),
the abundance of coral and fish, and for the precipitous “walls” at some sites.
Bunaken Timur, right of the east coast of the island and featuring all of the
above, is according to some the best dive site in all Indonesia.
