In 2013 I had the opportunity to travel and SCUBA dive in the North Sulawesi Sea with the primary focus on the opposite side of the islands from the popular Lembeh Strait. Bunaken National Marine Park was our daily deep dive along sheer walls covered in colorful soft corals. The rest of our time was spent closer to shore critter hunting for marine life like frogfish, mantis shrimp, and cuttlefish.
