Comments	Siladen Resort and Spa is in Bunaken Marine Park making it very convenient for diving the Park. The reefs are the healthiest I've seen. The walls are breath taking with great coral fields for doing your safety stop. The variety of tropical fish is unbelievable. Besides all the fish you'll see Pygmy Sea Horses, Ghost Pipefish and an endless varity of shrimp. This is a great place to dive. The currents can be a little tricky though. There's even muck diving available. Popo Island had fantastic muck diving with a full collection of the odd and unbelievable including one coral head with five Leaf Scorpions on it. We even found a Splendid Sea Moth. The dive boats are large wooden vessels with plenty of room for everything. They are very comfortable, easy to get off of and get on. The dives are all guided in groups no larger than four divers; very nice! The crew and staff can't do enough for you! They simply do a great job plus you can dive your computer and yur entire tank. The resort is fantastic! The rooms were large cottage types, most overlooking the beach and onto the mountains. The spa was great. The restaurant and the food were five star. The facilties are well kept. The staff is at you beckon call starting from the airport, onto the boat for the ride to the resort up until you return to the airport. This is simply a great island paradise to vacation and dive. We will definitely return. I can't recommend it enough! We coupled this with a trip to Kunkungen Bay Resort, Lembeh Strait.
