Nomad Divers Resort is located on Bangka Island, a 9 km long island in the north of Sulawesi Island, with the airport at Manado on Sulawesi Island. A driver from the resort is waiting for you there and will drive you to the north of Sulawesi in 1 hour. Afterwards, you can take a 30-40 minute boat transfer to Bangka island. In the morning, dolphins play in the bay where a dugong also lives, in front of the bungalows. Bangka island is located at an equal distance between the Lembeh Strait, the kingdom of muck diving and Bunaken, with its magnificent drop offs.
The bungalows, made locally, very simple, on stilts, are set in the vegetation, along a sheltered bay with a view towards Lembeh and another towards the volcanoes of North Sulawesi. The rooms have double beds with fans. The bathrooms have showers with sun-heated water. Families have one of two bungalows with an extra bedroom.
To get to your bungalow, you either go to the beach or take a path through the mangrove, lit at night by bamboo lanterns. After the dive, let yourself be rocked in your hammock on the terrace, looking up to see the tarsiers on the tree tops. Taste the delicious Minahasan country cuisine, based on curry, with banana cakes and fresh fish BBQ. The chef even makes delicious doughnuts. The facilities are clean and rustic with healthy cuisine.
Excellent local guides operate at Nomad Divers Resort and find mimic octopus, pygmy seahorses and antennas. They lead you on the passage of eagle rays and sometimes sharks. Here, you will enjoy a great biodiversity and few divers spread over about 30 dive sites that take up to 30 minutes to navigate. Outings of 2 or 3 dives are organised according to the distance of the sites visited with coral reefs, underwater pinnacles, walls, caves, sea grass beds, sandy bays.
