Live Aboard Sangihe Talaud Diving Safari in Sangihe Talaud Islands and Underwater Volcano, Mahangetang, North Sulawesi - Indonesia
The Sangihe -Talaud Archipelago lies to the north of Manado and is dominated by the 1830m Karangetang volcano.
This chain of around 40 steep and lush volcanic islands connects Indonesia with the Philippines.
It is regarded as one of the most scenic regions of all of Indonesia. Here deep oceanic trenches rise to form towering volcanic islands.
Several of these are still active, such as spectacular Siau, a rainforest island which rises to over 1400m above sea level.
The abundant marine life and magical reefs fringing these islands are only accessible by a live-aboard boat and are truly impressive,
even to the most jaded traveler. All along the Sangihe-Talaud Island the reefs are described by international divers and snorkellers as 'remote, pristine and world class'.
