 Sulawesi is one of the four larger Sunda Islands of Indonesia. It’s the world’s eleventh –largest island, covering an area of 175.000 km2 on its own. The island is situated by Borneo to the west, by the Philippines to the north, by Maluku to the east, and by Flores and Timor to the South. The central part of the island is ruggedly mountainous, such that the island's peninsulas have traditionally been remote from each other. The northern province of Sulawesi is a very quiet, remote region lying in the heart of the most prolific marine macro life in the world creating a true diver’s paradise.
North Sulawesi’s diversity in divesites is legendary. Starting with a variety of amazing wall’s and beautiful dorp-offs near Bunaken National Marine Park, beautifully covered wrecks, enchanting reefs and submerged pinnacles around Banka Island. Or what about the volcanic Togian Islands that is the only place in the world where barrier reefs, atols and fringing reefs can be found together.
But possibly the most famous are the pygmy seahorse, hairy frogfish, blue ringed octopus and countless nudibranchs.
