About this site
These coordinates sit along the northern coast of Sulawesi, in the Bunaken area near Manado, a stretch of Indonesia well known for its coral drop-offs and channels facing the Celebes Sea. Dive sites in this part of North Sulawesi are typically reached by boat from Manado or nearby coastal villages. At Bethlehem, divers have also reported frogfish and seahorses, making it worth a slower look for those interested in smaller subjects along the reef.
