Hi!
Just wan't to tell you all about my opion about
Seabreeze bungalows (Bunaken divers) in bunaken, manado.
The accomodation is not worth the price.
I stayed in a standard room, and the room was poorly maintained
and the cleaning was really bad.
Talked to a couple that was staying in the honeymoon suite, and they were dissapointed
as well.
There are cheaper and better/cleaner places to stay on bunaken.
The diving facility (called Bunaken Divers) was the worst dive operator I have seen!
Been diving since 2001, mostly in malaysia, thailand and indonesia.
Equipment:
Changed regulator 4 times. The depth gauge did not work on a couple of the regulators.
When I told the owner, he just said. -"You don't need a depth gauge. Just stay above
the dive guide".
None of the regulators that I was given had
both functioning first and second stage.
The owners reply to this -"You don't need two stages
when diving in a group".
My girlfriend had to change regulator 2 times and bcd 2 times.
Dive guides:
During our 4 days in bunaken the dive guides never did the signal for safety stop.
They lost 2 divers during 1 dive.
Did not care to see if everyone was ready to go down.
Left a couple of snorkellers behind, the boat left with the guests in the water.
One open water student went out of air because the diveguides never told him
to signal when he was low on air.
One BCD-exploded under water.
We were never asked to show our divers licences.
Otherwise Bunaken offers really good diving, just don't use bunaken divers.
Have a nice trip!
