Diving down with friends under Bunaken deep sea unforgettable how we surrounding by abundance colorful corals, any kind of fish with their shapes, swimming side by side with human as a friends.

Swim in warm tropical water, sparkling clear made this Park fame around  the globe for clarity of the water, may visible in the range of 35 - 40 meters away. Abundance of coral and fish as a main reasons why this park so famous and attracts, especially for divers, snorkel and naturalists.




Make sure you take a full tank of gas to take advantage to sight seeing while under the water, see the details of any kind of coral"s shape. In the photo we can see one a white skin coral, beside the other one like a flower. I wish I can take it home and put in in an aquarium in my guest room to cheer my life up. I never aware how valuable this coral could be if they sell it in the market place in the big cities.






















Bunaken known as a  highest level of marine biodiversity, world natural heritage,  its make sense if  we looking to this six small pics, saw a red and yellow corals, palm trees and sailing boat. Really tempting every eye to come and see Bunaken and  surrounding, who administratively to Manado municipality, North Sulawesi province.

Two type of fishes swimming side by side, sometime touching each others. That beautiful red skin with white strips seems attracted by a group of small fish. and a diver as well, to shot a pic to saw the world the richer compare to the Philippine sea beyond the border.



Amazing background of sea color in light blue matching with blue black strips of these middle size fish. Yellow with dots in the mouth, top back and the wing just like out from a fancy saloon and invited attention from the diver to take a picture.
You may find the fish in deeper level since Manado bay extremely deep 1566 meters.
