Blue Shark Divers Bunaken

La comida estaba deliciosa y el personal del alojamiento y del centro de buceo eran muy amables. Se agradece que tuviera aire acondicionado, ya que hacía mucho calor.

El baño no tenía lavabo y el que estaba en la zona común no funcionaba.

La nourriture est excellente et en bonne quantité. Bonne communication avec Dion qui est très arrangeant.

Wifi très faible. La clim fonctionnait mal, impossible de rester se reposer la journée dans la chambre il y faisait trop chaud. Dommage il n’y avait plus de hamac sur la terrasse.

I had a really wonderful stay at Blue Sharks Bunaken and would definitely stay with Dion again if I go back to Bunaken. From the beginning, Dion was super helpful and welcoming. I arrived in Manado at 4 a.m. after a very long transpacific journey involving four flights, and he arranged the transfer from the airport directly to Blue Sharks. That was gold for me because I was absolutely exhausted after such a long trip. I really wanted to start diving as soon as possible, but Dion told me to get some rest first. He showed me to my room and let me join the afternoon dive instead. Someone else might have just let me dive right away, but he was absolutely right. After a good rest, I felt like a new person! The room was very comfortable, with A/C and a fan, and it was perfect for relaxing and recovering between dives. And the food was amazing! Everything was home-cooked, delicious, and different every day. As a vegetarian, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised by how varied and tasty every meal was. Every day brought something different, and everything was so delicious. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. Blue Sharks is a homestay attached to Dion's home, and he really made me feel like I was being welcomed into his house rather than just staying somewhere. I did 16 dives during my stay and had an awesome time. I actually couldn't help but extend my stay for another night and add another day of diving! Dion was always super helpful and genuinely cared about making sure I was comfortable and having a good time. If I go back to Bunaken, I will definitely stay with Dion again. Thanks, Dion, for making my stay such a great experience!

A few thing to be aware although none of them were a problem for me. Blue Sharks is right in the center of the village, which I actually liked because you are right in the middle of local life. The downside is that you will hear the mosque and the church early in the morning, as well as the roosters, dogs, and even the Bible readings around 4 a.m. 😄 So if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs! But honestly, this isn't really a Blue Sharks issue, if you stay anywhere in the village, you'll experience pretty much the same thing. Another thing is the electricity. When the electricity goes out, it goes out across the island, so during the day the homestays and restaurants run on generators. I didn't find this to be a big deal at all. I was usually out diving during the day, and by night time the power was always back on, so I had plenty of time to recharge all my devices. Because the electricity is off during the day, the wifi also doesn't work during those hours. If you need to stay connected, I'd recommend getting a local SIM card before arriving in Bunaken. I didn't have time to get one myself, and honestly, I ended up enjoying being disconnected! Whenever I really needed to send an urgent message or book something, Dion was always happy to help. So again, this wasn't a problem for me and isn't really a Blue Sharks issue, it's simply the reality of connectivity on the island. One last small thing: the bathroom didn't have a sink. Again, it wasn't a big deal for me, and from what I heard from other visitors, this is fairly common in Bunaken and more a feature of the local accommodations than something specific to Blue Sharks. Overall, none of these things took away from my experience. I actually enjoyed being a little disconnected and experiencing village life, just come prepared for Bunaken as it is, rather than expecting the conveniences of a city hotel.

時々電気が落ちることがありました。しかし、これはインドネシアの島では珍しいことではないと思います。まもなく復旧します。
