Bunaken National Marine Park Bunaken National Marine Park boasts some of the world’s most spectacular and accessible coral drop-offs, caves and valleys, full of brightly coloured sponges and fish. The wildly varied shapes and colours of the fringing coral off Pulau Bunaken have become and international diving and snorkeling attraction. The 808-hectare island is part of Bunaken National Marine Park which includes: Manado Tua(Old Manado) a dormant volcano that can be seen from Manado, Siladen Island, Nain and Mantehage islands (INDONESIA - Lonely Planet 7th Edition, Nov 2003) Read more>> Lorenso Cottages - Bunaken Lorenso Cottages are situated on two locations on Pantai Pangalisang on the Eastern side of Bunaken Island which are locally known as Lorenso I and Lorenso II. The peaceful and green surroundings as well as the homey and familiar atmosphere make this local family-owned resort a suitable place for both divers and snorkelers to stay at.Lorenso Cottages’ home reef which is known as spot ‘Bunaken Timur’ is one of the most celebrated diving and snorkeling spots within the marine park. What has been said about diving and snorkeling on the east side of Bunaken (Timur) :  "This is truly breathtaking, an incredible dive any time of day; but dived early morning or late afternoon, when the light begins to die and the fish start feeding in earnest, Timur is the diving equivalent of a religious experience. ...
There is more variety on this site, given the right conditions, than I have seen anywhere else in Indonesia. If it's in the fish guidebook, it's on this reef - and it would truly take a whole book to recite the species spotted on even a single dive. ...
Whatever you do and however you dive it, don't miss this spot. If you could do only one dive in North Sulawesi, this would have to be it." (The dive sites of Indonesia, Guy Buckles, 1995).
