Thalassa dive resort - Manado -

Our green resort brings you surprisingly close to nature. The natural environment embraces you. In our garden filled with fruit trees, palms and fragrant flowers you will find 19 rooms, divided into 4 different categories:
Bungalows: The 7 spacious, detached bungalows are each equipped with a private terrace and a king-size and a single bed. Thalassa Dive Resort offers the guests of the bungalows an extra service. Such as the "breakfast in bed" service, a fruit basket on arrival, a well-stocked minibar for a nice cold beer or a glass of wine, a kettle to make coffee and tea in the room. Of course the bathroom is equipped with a good shower with towels and shampoo.
cottages: The 4 wooden cottages built in the local style have 2 single beds or a double bed. No breakfast service here, but a minibar and in the bathroom the same facilities as in the bungalows
Hill top rooms: Our mountain top rooms are located at the highest point of the resort. That makes for a great view of Manado and the bay. This is a perfect place for a diving club or group that would like to stay together. In the private garden you can plan your own BBQ, right in front of the rooms! These nine rooms are perfect for those who prefer spending their money on diving. The rooms are equipped with single and double beds. The rooms, of course, have a private bathroom with a good shower, towels and soap, but no other facilities. The fantastic view over the bay of Manado is worth climbing the 52 steps.

All rooms have air conditioning, private bathrooms with hot water and overlook the ocean from the private terrace.

And not without reason, it is one of the richest and varied underwater areas in the world. Specialists indicate that in Bunaken National Park alone, more than 58 different species of coral can be found and about 2000 different fish! And that number only grows when we involve the areas around Bangka and Lembeh! It goes without saying that we organise trips to all these dive sites. It is not for nothing that the waters around Indonesia are called the breeding ground of the sea! North Sulawesi is part of the island where three large water areas come together, the Pacific, Celebes Sea and the Indian ocean. Together they form a gigantic food source. The tide and the varied underwater landscape contribute to the richness of this area. The sea around North Sulawesi consists of approximately 5 different areas, which together offer more than 150 different dive sites. The enormous area offers enough challenge for every diver. From beginner to advanced diver, from macro photographer to drift diver!

The tidal current in our area is approximately 2.2 meters. So most dives are drift dives. The water temperature is between 26 and 29 degrees Celsius. Watch out, because of the refreshing water you sometimes do not notice how strong the sun is, only when it is too late. Most divers wear a 3 mm shorty or suit to protect themselves.
