Murex Dive Resorts announce ‘Passport to Paradise’ package

Murex Dive Resorts in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, have announced a new dive package entitled ‘Passport to Paradise’.
The Passport to Paradise package allows you to explore 3 distinctive dive destinations in one holiday, without missing dive days transferring by car. There is no traffic at sea, no long car rides, no missed dives or snorkeling opportunities; that’s why the boat transfers that Murex offers between resorts is the perfect way to travel.
You’ll be transferred between these 3 resorts on Murex’s spacious, purpose made dive boats; you just worry about having a good time relaxing, diving or snorkeling along the way. No hassles with luggage either; since you’ll be using your camera and dive gear it will be loaded right onto the boat by Murex’s professional dive crew, and at the end of the day you’ll have the comfort of a land based operation who intimately knows the area.
This itinerary allows you to visit and see all of North Sulawesi’s amazing underwater diversity – from pristine walls in Bunaken National Park and viewing a kaleidoscope of reef colours in Bangka to the world’s highest concentration of unusual marine life in the Lembeh Strait.
When: Available year round (weather & seas permitting)
Where: North Sulawesi, Indonesia – Bunaken Marine Park, Bangka Island, Lembeh Resort
Cost: Varies – depending on number of hotel nights (full board meal plan included), amount of dives, number of divers, etc.
You can view a ‘Passport to Paradise’ sample itinerary here.
