| diving details... |
All the diving in Goronatalo is done from an outrigger boat. Outriggers are traditional Indonesian fishing craft. They have been used successfully in Tomini Bay for centuries, as the bay is protected and the waters are very calm.
The outrigger dive boat features:
- 10 metre wooden hull
- Maximum of 6 divers
- 2 x 40 HP outboard petrol engine
- Sun and shaded area
- Wooden entry & exit ladders
|
 |
Dive trips run from 08:00 - 13:00 hrs and include two dives, divemaster, as well as drinking water. Boat journey time is normally 10 - 40 minutes, but one site is one hour away.
