Comments Getting there: we flew Los Angeles to Singapore on Singapore Air and then Singapore to Manado on Scoot Airline. Scoot was the most convenient in terms of schedule and flight path but hard to work with via website or telephone leading up to the trip. Both flights on Scoot were delayed without notice and the communication was poor. If you use Scoot, take the time to get on their website and pay for leg room, priority seating, and a hot meal if you can. Some people flew to Manado from Jakarta. And other people were on a trip called Passport to Paradise and got to Lembeh Resort on a day dive boat from a sister facility (see murexresorts.com).

Reporter and Travel

Dive Experience 501-1000 dives
Where else diving California, Socorro Islands, Cozumel, Cocos, Indonesia (Komodo, Lembeh, Wakitobi, Banda, Raja Ampat), Papua New Guinea, Sea of Cortez, Red Sea, Galapagos, Hawaii, Little Cayman, Belize
Closest Airport Manado, Sulawesi Getting There Can get to Manado from Singapore or Jakarta. Then take local airline to MDC (Manado). We flew on Scoot Airline from SIN to MDC... bad experience in both directions and with booking but had no choice as they were only option from SIN. They fly a few times per week between SIN and MDC so need to coordinate that when booking the resort.
