I hope you get some replies anenomefishman - I am also considering them for a winter trip.

Have you had any replies to your emails? In 16 days no one at Cocotinos has answered my question about availability.

I can tell you that a very senior and talented guide left a popular, established Lembeh resort to join them, so there is at least that talent there.

we are currently at cocotinos manado. it is pretty quiet right now. we were the only ones on our dive boat today. nice place, good dive operation. did 2 dives in bunaken and 1 dive from mainland today. all 3 dives were excellent. fair amount of current at bunaken.

resort from dive boat. they have 4 dive boats.

sunset tonight from the resort. water is very flat.

cruising down the wall at bunaken. very nice wall. fair amount of current.
