Dive-site story
Situated directly in front of the main village on the south coast of Bunaken Island, Muka Kampung features a vertical drop-off covered in hard corals, gorgonian fans, and massive barrel sponges. Divers typically drift along the wall, scanning crevices for macro life while keeping an eye on the blue for passing pelagics and resident sea turtles resting on reef ledges.
High density of resident green sea turtles resting on wall ledges and feeding along the reef flat
Expansive vertical wall covered in healthy hard corals, sea fans, and black coral bushes
Schools of pyramid butterflyfish and redtooth triggerfish swirling off the reef edge
