Location
of the dive site :
MANADO TUA ISLAND NEAR BUNAKEN ISLAND
|
1. Muka Gereja
"Muka"
means " in front of" and "Gereja" means "church".
Once you arrive at this site, it's as clear as the water below
why it got such a name. Muka Gereja is a beautiful wall dive with
very little current and calm water.Therefore it is often your
first dive in the park. What can you expect at Muka Gereja? A
steep wall with lots of caverns and overhanging cliffs. There
are huge, barrel sponges, mysterious shallow caverns and rich
coral growth. One of the best observations was an immense school
of striped catfish, so big and so dense that most of the divers
thought it was a huge whale! Visibility is good to excellent and
as said earlier, current is most of the time mild. The magnificent
view of Manado Tua's 800 metres high volcano gives this site an
extra dimension.
