Highlights

  • Indonesia’s ultimate frontier for active underwater volcanoes and pristine coral reefs 
  • Dive into the pristine volcanic reefs in North Sulawesi’s untouched Sangihe Archipelago 
  • Explore black sand macro sites and thriving pelagic marine life
  • Remote North Sulawesi diving featuring hydrothermal vents 
Day 1:
Once you arrive at Manado Airport, our representative will be waiting outside the arrival hall and ready to escort you to the boat for boarding. Cabin allocation and ship orientation will take place before departure. Take this opportunity to familiarise yourselves with the vessel.

Days 2-5
We offer 3-4 dives daily, including a night dive if possible. When crossing, only 2 dives a day can be scheduled.

The Sangihe Archipelago—stretching between North Sulawesi and the Philippines—is one of Indonesia's most dramatic, remote, and uncrowded diving frontiers. Driven by deep ocean trenches and volcanic activity, it offers sheer walls, black sand muck diving, and massive pelagic life.

Day 6:
The final day of diving with 1-2 scheduled dives—sail back to the harbour.

Day 7:
After breakfast, it’s time to say our goodbyes, and our crew will transfer you to the airport or hotel. 

Sample itineraries are for guidance only. Actual itineraries may differ slightly due to factors such as weather, wildlife, logistics, and local regulations.
