The resort that set the tone for the strait, and the place Ana and Miguel were running on my first trip before they moved to Siladen. The à la carte format is here too, carried across from Wakatobi by managers who trained there.
What you are actually buying is the guides. Muck diving is entirely dependent on somebody knowing which patch of sand held a hairy frogfish yesterday, and this team has been working these sites long enough to have that map in their heads.
The camera room and the boat routine are built around photographers rather than tolerating them, which after a week of five-hour macro days is not a small thing.

The transfer takes real time: fly into Manado, then a taxi that can run two to three hours depending on traffic, then a short water taxi across to the resort.
The water runs colder here than the tropical setting suggests — a 3mm suit left me properly cold by the end of a diving day. Bring a hood.
The resort sits on a cliff face. Garden suites are the easy walk; the view suites can mean hundreds of steps. Worth knowing if you don't want to climb every day.
Most trips begin through Manado, then a short road and boat transfer into the strait.
