    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Lekuan I, II & III, right off Bunaken Island, is a classic wall dive. You’ll drop onto a sheer coral face, which plunges down with plenty of overhangs and crevices to explore. We’ve found it’s a reliably good spot for green turtles, especially around Lekuan I – some of the males here are massive. Visibility is usually solid, and currents are often mild, making it a comfortable dive for nearly any experience level. It's a busy site, but for good reason, providing a consistent chance to see turtles alongside the usual reef fish.
