Comments Siladen Island Resort & Spa is about a 40 minute boat transfer from Sulawesi. Rooms have AC w/nice outdoor bath. Staff knows your name on the 1st day. Almost all diving/snorkeling is done near Bunaken island a 15-20 minute boat ride from Siladen. All boats are covered & have heads. 2 dives morning & 1 afternoon. Bunaken has- Beautiful corals, a few areas with dead or broken coral,not many big fish probably due to villagers subsistance fishing, zero sharks,lots of tropicals, strong currents that sometimes reverse direction, average viz- 60 ft.water temp about 84F 3mm suit
