Tasik Ria Resort – North Sulawesi, Indonesia

Ray

I can't say enough about Tasik Ria and the dive operation there. It's a beautiful resort. We stayed in a bungalow on the water and were very comfortable. The outdoor shower was quite the treat! The food was very good with a very diverse selection including lots of local favorites. The dive boat was a bit slow but very comfortable and relaxing. We dove Binaken Park which is mostly wall dives. The visibility was not the best - probably better later in the dry season. But we did see lots of fish, turtles, nudibranchs and even a couple of pigmy sea horses! Everyone at the resort was very friendly but need to give high 5's to Dan - the consummate resort manager, Jimmy Santiago - the best dive master! Herman - the groundskeeper who was insistent we learn some of the local language, Sophie for he help at the front desk and Frankie and Funi for the fabulous tour. And if you go - you MUST take a photo class from Jill. I don't care what your photography level is, you will learn!
