Cocotinos Lembeh Manado A Boutique Dive Lodge  

On the edge of the Lembeh Strait in Bitung — about 6 km from the city center and 50 km (1.5–2 hours by car) from Sam Ratulangi International Airport. The lodge fronts top muck‑diving sites like Makawidey, Jahir and Nudi Retreat, and Tangkoko National Park is roughly an hour’s drive away.

A boutique dive lodge with just 12 rooms, each offering air‑conditioning, a ceiling fan, personal safe, mini fridge and hot water. The property runs on fresh underground spring water and has generator backup for uninterrupted power. The on‑site dive centre is fully equipped and nitrox is available; fibreglass dive boats handle the short jumps to famous local sites.

Stand‑out features are the professional dive centre, nitrox fills and well‑designed dive boats, plus tours arranged from the front desk. Practical perks include spring‑fed fresh water and generator‑backed power — and you’ll wake up to sea‑breeze mornings right on the strait.

Free internet is available throughout the lodge, so you can check photos, log dives and stay connected between trips.
