Manado situated at the northern tip of the Indonesia Sulawesi island is a major shipping hub between the resource rich eastern islands of Indonesia, China, Japan and Philippines. It also boast some of the most diverse scuba diving experience in the world. The diving group consist of the same batch of unfitters who went on the Pulau Dayang and Aur trip: Crippled, marathon girl and Mr L. This is a 6 days 5 night trip and consist of 11 dives: 6 dives at The island of Bunaken and 5 dives at the island of lembeh. Silkair has a daily flight to Manado and the air fare is pretty standard throughout the year at 450 SGD. This trip is jointly organized by Simply Scuba and Submersible. A short 4 hrs plane ride later, we were whisked off on car and boat to the island of Bunaken. To our horror, we realized that we forgot to bring along something essential for the trip: beer, coke and potato chips, all thanks to the efficiency of the organizers that we did not have time to stop by a nearby supermart on the mainland.
