"BUNAKEN DIVING" AROUND MANADO INDONESIA

Dive, eat, sleep: that's what you will do at FROGGIES; dive and dive and dive! Want to spend 4 1/2 hours a day in the water, watching the scenery and the ever moving "fish-film"? Easy, do two 1 hour 30' dives during the day and an unforgettable nightdive, you will not regret a single minute. Did I hear you say "It's impossible"? Try it, sit in the gentle current, do not move your arms or your fins, just follow your slow-going diveguide. Manado diving at Froggies is lazy, taste the real sense of the saying:

"AWAY FROM IT ALL"

	Small groups, no more than 4 to 5 customers on one boat, with 2 of our dive guides/divemasters!
	Your safety and comfort are our first concern; we try to match divers with the same level of experience on a boat.
	Bunaken abounds with small treasures, the spectacular dropoffs hide all the macro secrets you ever dreamed of; so Froggies are not deep divers, we choose for long and slow dives. The occasional deep dive can be planned with the appropriate safety equipment.
	If you are looking for great "Muck Diving", observing small critters, exceptional anemones and bizarre looking fish, then Froggies can take you to those magic spots, either around Bunaken's National Park or on to Lembeh Strait.
	There are 30+ divespots that we choose from, depending on tides and currents. Chances are that you'll visit a different spot each time you dive.
	If you don't have your own gear, our rental equipment is first class and regularly serviced by our maintenance staff.
	Christiane and Tommy will welcome you at Froggies: she'll answer all your questions about diving in English, French, Dutch, Italian or German, and Tommy will help organize all your other activities.
	Accommodation in traditional wooden bungalows at Bunaken Island, close to the Dive Sites.
Our largest cottage has a living-room, two bedrooms, bathroom and a verandah overlooking the sea, and is for families or friends that wish to share. The rate is Euro 30.- per person per day. On the cozier side we have three bungalows with bedroom and living area (see pictures on our Resort page), with bathroom in a small garden and verandah overlooking the sea, perfect for a couple or two friends. They cost Euro 35.- per person per day. Then there are two smaller bungalows also without a living room, but with a small Bali style bathroom and a verandah with seaview. Their price is only Euro 25.- per person per day. There are four bungalows without a living-room, very close to the beach, with their Bali style bathrooms and verandahs. They are Euro 30.- per person per day.
	We have replaced the air-con with fresh sea-breeze, at no extra cost...
	For guests that dive at Froggies we organize 4D/3N diving trips to the Lembeh Strait : we dive Lembeh during the day and we sleep aboard while the boat brings us there, to another location and on our way back to Bunaken. You do not have to miss a single day of diving!
	Advance e-mail reservation is recommended. If you just show up at the last moment, we might be already fully booked.

Thai Food and Great Dishes to Prepare

Do you love authentic Thai dishes as well as American Thai combos? If you do and you love to eat such food, you are not alone, in fact these types of foods are amongst my favorites too. So, let me recommend a most excellent cookbook for you, one I am sure you will enjoy and thank me for later. The cookbook to which I refer is:

"Tommy Tang's Modern Thai Cuisine" by Tommy Tang; Double Day Publishing, New York, NY; 1991.

Tommy Tang is a master chef and owner of fine Thai Restaurants in Los Angeles and New York. This book has over 90 Thai Recipes in it, much more than his menu and many of these recipes are illustrated. This cookbook is unique in that it has a glossary of all the ingredients in the front and if you buy all those for your kitchen you will be able to prepare any of the fine dishes in the book. This sure makes it easy to make great Thai food at home.

I think you will enjoy the Thai Chili Fish and Thai Pasta, of course, for me it is hard to decide which is better Tommy's Duck recipe or his special sushi. Tommy dedicated this book to his mom with a great poem and judging by his generosity in sharing all this with the world, I'd say Tommy is the real deal and I'll be happy to eat in any of his restaurants, if I do not cook his delicious dishes in my own custom kitchen. This book is a must for those who wish to cook Thai food at home.

Tommy has a unique way of mixing and matching cultures to find the best of everything, some of the dishes are pure Thai and others are modified to fit nearly anyone's taste buds. The juries in; Tommy Rocks.
