Blue Bay Divers in Bangka

Travelnsj · Jan 7, 2009

Been looking at going to Gangga Island instead of Bali in November. I've looked at Gangga Island resort which is a tad expensive...I like Hot water, in room bathrooms and A/C.... Found Blue Bay Divers in Bangka Blue Bay Divers | Home Has anyone dove with them and stayed there?

all of our guests who have been there loved it. nestled on its own nice little white sand beach in a sheltered cove.
Nice comfortable dive boats as well.

I am not Mike but can comment on Murex Bangka

, at least as it was a couple of years ago: nice beach, excellent diving, bungalows are simple but comfortable. Food was tasty Indonesian home cooking type.

We had the place mostly to ourselves, my wife and I (no other guests for a couple of days).

not sure if Murex is still open. last two times i went past there it seemed deserted...

Scott, have you tried emailing Blue Bay? I have no idea about their facilities

Travelnsj · Jan 9, 2009

Frogfish and Mike thanks for the info....Blue Bay has not responded to to my emails or my Travel agents but I did run across a report that they do not have A/C or Hot Water, and their bathrooms are the Indonesian mandi style. Their rooms seem nicer than Murex. Danny (Lembeh Divers) replied to my email yesterday and he said the Murex resort has A/C, Hot Water and ensuite bathrooms....looks like Murex.

Please update if you hear more about these. We are staying 4 days in Sept either on Bunaken or maybe with Murex, but it is hard to find any info on them. Website is pretty uninformative. Not even rates. I will send them an email as well. As with you, I dont need the lux of Gangga, but would like western facilities and some hot water.

Send an email to Murex, Josi will probably reply and she will send you a rate sheet. All the info I am getting is Gangga and Bangka is far superior diving to Bunaken and a lot less divers.

My only problem with Bangka is I need a Sunday AM flight from Manado to Sorong. Express Air was to start up that flight at the beginning of this this month and it has not started and no word from Express Air. Being I do not want to spend a day in Sorong as I would have to take a Sat AM flight I may go to Bali.
