Nomad Divers Bangka

Great location. Very peaceful, great food and lovely staff. We were made very welcome and were well looked after. Fabulous diving, too!!

wonderful place to explore the island

Amazing location, great diving, good social vibes with family dinners and shared diving. We had an amazing time at Nomad and the team are joyous.

Nothing!

Honestly, what is there not to like. Food, amazing. Staff, amazing. Diving, amazing. Location, amazing. I got a recommendation from a friend on Bunaken, and they way she spoke about this place made my decision to go have a look. Nothing beats word of mouth, and she ain’t lying. What a wonderful part of the world. I initially was only supposed to stay 3 nights? But I extended my stay another week. I was so happy in this secluded environment, in my little bungalow which was more than I could have asked for. I slept so well, with the windows open to all the nature and my heart happy in the little cocoon of my mosquito net. They even provide mosquito coils outside your bungalow for double protection. These little touches, like water in your room and having help carrying my insanely heavy bags to my room felt like I was a VIP. I’m old, I’m tired of carrying my diving stuff everywhere. But with a boat drop right to the doorstep and a pickup service of finding me somewhere over in the Bunaken area to them was seamless. Thank you Kate. I know people are stressful but communicating with you was a breeze. They have Wi-Fi. And because I work and travel that was an added bonus seeing I was basically touch and go on Bunaken. James is an excellent host and dive leader, his enthusiasm for everything, land, sea and everything in between, including our time in the village, putting up with me, running the place and making sure that everyone is happy (must be exhausting) makes you realise why they both decide to call Nomad there home. I will send cheeseburgers. Thank you both so much. It was honestly the highlight of my trip around Sulawesi and something that I will not forget so soon. I honestly think it’s the best kept secret (so I wouldn’t want to share but I’m telling everyone) and I was lucky enough to have the boat to myself some days, but also when the other guests were there it was our little family. I wish you guys the best! X

Oh, it’s awful living on an island in the middle of the ocean with no one for miles and to wake up and go diving everyday. Such a hard life. (Please see above)
