Murex DiveResort

Murex Dive has spent over three decades guiding visitors around Manado and Bunaken. The PADI 5 Star Dive Resort in Minahasa sits about 35 minutes from the protected Bunaken Marine National Park, and its guides have thousands of local dives behind them.

Training starts in a four-meter-deep pool made for teaching, then moves to spacious, shaded boats with a sundeck and a fresh water box for cameras. Specialties include Underwater Photographer, Fish ID and Wreck Diver. The team also runs freediving, snorkeling and conservation programs, in English, German and Indonesian.
