The 'Lekuans' are considered by some to be amongst the top dive sites of Manado. Lekuan 1 has a sandy slope at 30-40m which is often used as a hang-out for reef sharks, then leading onto a steep wall. There are outcrops of coral covered with anthias and many schooling fish including snapper, fusiliers and pyramid butterfly fish. You can regularly spot turtle here. This site gives you a chance to dive with dense populations of bigger reef fish (with numerous macro species in the shallows too).

Named after a Japanese diver who dived this spot 20 years ago. He was the first person to publish a description of the place and henceforth its name; Fukui. It is comparable with the rest of Bunaken's dive sites, however it is one of the few spots without a significant wall. Fukui is more sloping and has a few short, steep drops. Fukui is a "cleaning station" and all kinds of big fish have themselves cleaned while they take a good rest. It's a perfect place to observe Napoleon wrasse, barracuda, Jack and big Snapper. A sandy area at Fukui is home to a colony of garden eels. At a depth of 17 metres there are 5 good-sized "Tridacna" giant clams lying in a row.

However, the coral at Fukui has suffered significant damage from bomb-fishing in the past (before the creation of Bunaken National Park in 1991), so in July 2004 Eco Divers was part of a reef-regeneration effort, helping to install a large number of “Eco Reefs” artificial reef modules at Fukui. Coral is continually be transplanted onto the modules and it is hoped that the new coral growth will eventually become a thriving fish habitat as it always used to be.

Fukui normally has a very mild current that can, occasionally, be a bit stronger. Average visibility is 20-25 meters.

Yes- the name says it all - barracuda, and if they're there, a lot of them (sometimes 100+)! Not only barracuda but big tuna and jacks too. However they're not always around and this reef isn't the most spectacular. The wall/slope has not much to offer but dead coral and sand. It's definitely not a spot for beginners as there can be strong currents, both upwards and downward! That's why Barracuda's like it so much here! We think this site is worth the risk of one dive during your stay, on the hope of seeing a big school.
