Bastianos Coral Triangle Dive Safari
Bastianos Divers invites you to experience an unforgettable dive adventure across North Sulawesi's most iconic underwater destinations.
From the dramatic walls and world-class coral gardens of Bunaken Marine Park, to the vibrant soft corals and fish-filled currents of the Bangka Archipelago, right at the heart of the Coral Triangle; then on to Lembeh Strait, a world-renowned hotspot for rare macro life and extraordinary muck diving.
We call it the Bastianos Coral Triangle Dive Safari – a unique opportunity to dive in three distinct marine environments while staying at three of our comfortable beachfront resorts in Bunaken, Bangka, and Lembeh.
Three islands, three ecosystems, three unforgettable experiences - all in one seamless journey.

Why this Safari is Unique
Diverse Marine Ecosystems
From the steep volcanic walls and reef gardens of Bunaken, to the dramatic pinnacles, soft corals, and current‐swept habitats of Bangka, and finally to the mysterious muck dives of Lembeh, you’ll witness an astounding array of marine life and environments. Each location adds something special – large pelagics, macro critters, colorful reefs, rare species, muck specialties – giving you a complete underwater tapestry.Multiple Locations, One Trip
It’s rare to combine three top dive sites in one cohesive itinerary without sacrificing comfort. With Bastianos you move seamlessly between resorts, enjoying full‐board service, experienced guides, and comfortable accommodations at each island. Stay, dive and explore without the hassle of separate bookings.Flexible Packages & Personalised Dive Adventure
Whether you prefer a short but intense 8‑night burst, or a relaxed 2 or 3‑week exploration, we can design sample itineraries to suit different schedules and dive appetites. More than 14 dives in 8 nights, or extend to 34 dives over 18 nights, it’s up to you. Also, you can request custom itineraries: combining number of nights, number of dives, mix of resorts to match your preferences (comfort level in room category and dive style) with different options on transfer between resorts either by boat or via mainland depends on your budget.
What You’ll Dive Into
Bunaken Marine Park
Famous for crystal clear waters, dramatic reef walls plunging down 800+ meters, huge schools of reef fish, turtles, and enormous anemone gardens. Great for both macro and big stuff. Ideal for photography, night dives, and relaxing evenings by the shore.Bangka Archipelago
One of the richest soft coral regions in North Sulawesi. Here currents bring nutrients, fueling soft corals in vivid hues, and attracting swirling schools, reef sharks, eagle rays and having good macro too. Strong currents make for great drift dives. This is a paradise for underwater photographers, lovers of colors and marine drama.Lembeh Strait
The muck diving capital of the world. Search the sand, detritus, and crevices for rare macro gems: mimic octopus, flamboyant cuttlefish, rhinophias, hairy frogfish. The terrain is unique; combining patience with skill, you’ll discover creatures that many divers will never see.
