| small beach resort, away from it all... |

The Bangka diving resort is clean and simple, set on the calm, relaxing southern shores of this little visited Manado island. Bangka is further removed from the popular spots such as Bunaken and Lembeh so you should not expect big numbers of divers, which makes the experience all the more special.
Rooms: 5
Diving in: Bangka, Lembeh Strait, Gangga and Talise
Dive type: Boat & beach dives
Divers: Max. 8

With only 5 bungalows in the resort, you'll find there is little to disturb you from your hammock. If night life and shopping are high on your agenda then Bangka Dive Resort shouldn't be. It is however, excellent therapy if you want to escape the crowds and do little but dive and laze on the beach all day.
Bangka is a simple island, free of roads or vehicles where a very small number of people and local deer make up the population. The Bangka Island sites are right on your doorstep with most sites being within 15 minutes boat ride and Lembeh Strait and other islands are within a comfortable distance. The house reef is a great spot for frogfish and makes a wonderful night dive. The Murex dive outfit are the pioneers of diving in Manado and know these sites better than anyone else so let them show you all that Bangka has to offer.
