"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.
