Large rinse tubs set up on boats, crew were very gentle with cameras, and would transport your gear from the shop out the long pier to the boats. |

The Santika is a great location to dive 3 areas of North Sulawesi. Poopo (a great muck site) is one hour to the south, Bangka Island (great soft corals) is two hours north, and the Buneken-Manado Tua Marine Park (lots of walls) is only 10 minutes away. The dive staff were very flexible about departure times and site selection. |
