Comments	This was a small resort (7 bungalows on a white sand beach) on a remote island about 40 minutes (by boat) north of Sulawesi. Staff was friendly, helpful and food was great Indonesian. All of the diving is 5 - 15 minutes away by boat - some of the best diving in Sulawesi. Soft and hard corals extremely healthy, many small critters, lots of exotic reef fish, octopus (including a blue ring). Bungalows were Indonesian style with open air shower, and ocean breezes. A very quiet paradise getaway!
