The relaxed, social atmosphere and oceanfront setting make dining at Murex Manado Resort a pleasant complement to both diving excursions and leisurely days at the resort.

Murex Manado Resort offers a comprehensive and highly regarded diving programme focused on the rich underwater environments of Manado Bay and the nearby Bunaken Marine Park. The resort’s dive centre is a PADI 5-Star facility with decades of experience guiding divers in the region. Its team of dive professionals are trained in both diving skills and marine biology, providing knowledgeable and engaging guidance for guests of all levels.

Daily dive operations generally include two morning boat dives to sites within Bunaken Marine Park, renowned for its dramatic coral walls, abundant reef fish, turtles, and diverse marine life, followed by an optional third afternoon dive around the varied muck and reef sites of Manado Bay. The resort’s dive boats are purpose-built for comfort and safety, featuring shaded areas, fresh water rinse boxes for cameras, individual tank holders, and amenities such as refreshments and towels on board.

In addition to boat diving, Murex Manado provides exceptional house reef diving just steps from the beachfront, allowing certified divers, freedivers, and snorkellers to explore the reef independently after an initial guided dive. Night and blackwater dives are also available, offering the chance to encounter nocturnal species and plankton-attracting marine life that only appear after dark. The dive centre also offers the full range of PADI courses, from introductory experiences and Open Water certification to advanced specialties and leadership training, catering to divers of all skill levels.
