This will be a hotel-based trip using 3 different resorts - Manado - Banka & and Lembeh.

The basic details are:

Flight routes: Singapore Airlines to London Heathrow to Singapore, about 1 1/2 hrs layover in Singapore, continuing to Manado and from there with a smaller airline.

North Sulawesi has an equatorial climate with two seasons: rainy and dry. The rainy season lasts from about November to March

Water Temperatures in the region of 28oC.

Proposed duration:

5 Nights in Manado (an extra day tagged on before diving to deal with jetlag)

Diving in Manado – Coral Walls to about 40M, really famous sites, and plenty of videos on YouTube!

Boat transfer to Bangka with 2 dives – these dives are further out than the local centres do so they are pristine.

4 nights in Bangka

Diving in Bangka – dugong, dolphins, pilot whales, wonderpus octopus and more

Boat transfer to Lembeh with 2 dives – these dives are further out than the local centres do so they are pristine.

4 Nights in Lembeh
