Manado Tua is a dormant volcano and the largest island in the Bunaken Marine Park. Its steep, black sand slopes and deep walls offer a different type of diving to Bunaken, with a higher chance of seeing large pelagics like eagle rays and dogtooth tuna.

Features

The underwater slopes of this volcano feature black sand and deep walls. The diving is more challenging than Bunaken, with stronger currents. This attracts larger fish, and it's a good place to look for eagle rays, Napoleon wrasse, and reef sharks.
