Although this has been already discussed a few times... I would apreciate help with choosing: Sidapan(kapalai) or Bunaken(siladen)/Bangka.
I am an amateur UW photographer while my girlfriend does not dive. To make her happy I would choose a nice place with beautiful reef right in front of the bungalow. I read Siladan or Bangka offer this.
Kapalai offers nice accomodation, nice white sandy beach... diving at sipadan + snorkeling at sipadan. Also a lot more expensive choice. Is the money worth in this case when compared with Bunaken or Bangka?
I intend to do 2 dives a day and then snorkel and shoot with my girlfriend. Night dive possible.
What would be your recommendation? I have not dived Sipadan eighter Bunaken/Bangka. The huge schools of jacks and barracudas attracts me a lot but beside jacks, turtles and possibly barracudas there is not much to see.. is it?
Bunaken carals would be great for wide angle shots but no pelagics. Really tough decision... please help. Bali and Komodo are the next stops so you could consider this too.
thank you
