Amazing coral reef at Bunaken Island - One of the world's top diving and snorkeling sites! Sulawesi

Bunaken is an island of 8 km2, part of the Bunaken National Marine Park and it's located at the northern tip of the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia.
In addition to its huge biodiversity Bunaken is a place where rare and endangered animals can be found such as coelacanths, dugongs, whales and turtles, as well as dolphins. The park has a unique bathymetry, which is an attraction to tourists scuba diving at Bunaken Island.
Snorkelling is fantastic in front of many of the resorts around the island. The reef is about 40m from the shore, so must swim out past the mangroves.
A very rich coral ecosystem covers most of Bunaken National Park, dominated by fringing reef and barrier reef corals. There are about 390 species of coral recorded in the waters. A distinct feature is a 25-50 metre vertical coral wall which is inhabited by 13 coral genus. The seaweeds that can be found here include Caulerpa, Halimeda, and Padina pavonica species, while the dominant seagrasses, in particular in the islands of Montehage and Nain, are Thalassia hemprichii, Enhallus acoroides, and Thalassodendron ciliatum. The park is also abundant in different species of fish, marine mammals and reptiles, birds, molluscs and mangrove species.
About 2000 species of fish live in the waters of the park, among them being the emperor angelfish, Almaco jack, spotted seahorse, bluestripe snapper, pinkish basslet and two-lined monocle bream. The species of mollusc include the giant clam, horned helmet shells, chambered nautilus, and ascidians.
