Indonesia contains 1/5th of the world’s coral reefs with over 3,000 different species of fish and 600 coral species, deep water trenches, volcanic sea mounts, World War II wrecks, and an endless variety of macro life. With all of this, as you can imagine, scuba diving is excellent.

The plan for the diving/snorkeling aspect of the trip is the Passport to Paradise package on the murexdive website (which involves 12 nights on the North Sulawesi Peninsula)

Starting from Murex Manado:
– September 18 – 23, 2017 Murex Manado (5 Nights)
– September 23 – 26, 2017 Murex Bangka (3 Nights)
– September 26 – 30, 2017 Lembeh Resort (4 Nights)

Costs are in the region of $2700 (£2000) for divers and $1700 (£1250) for non-divers. including Buffet Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, Free-Flow Drinking Water, Coffee & Tea, Afternoon Snack; and Welcome Drink, Fruit Basket & Cookies

Obviously, the trip will also involve long-haul return flights to the Singapore area and return flights to Manado and I have lots of information about that but each person/couple will be responsible for those parts of the trip – people may want to economize as much as possible or make it a grand tour of the Far East.

If you are interested let me know.  I will be making a tentative booking in the near future but as flights will not be available until October, final booking with payment will be delayed until then.
