Panorama Dive Resort is a family-run dive operator on Bunaken Island managed by Sven, a German instructor with over a decade of local experience. Dive groups stay genuinely small, typically two divers per guide and never more than four, and guests dive with modern Apeks regulators, Seaquest BCDs and 12-liter aluminum tanks.

Many of Bunaken's best wall sites, including the Lekuan walls, Fukui Point and Mandolin, sit five to twenty-five minutes from the resort by boat. Guiding runs in English, German and Indonesian, and bungalow accommodation keeps guests on the island rather than commuting from Manado. The resort holds a 4.8 Google rating from more than 160 reviews.
