Dive Center

By passionate divers for divers 

Driven by a personal passion in combination with pioneering spirit, the dive centre of the Prince John Dive Resort was established by passionate divers for divers about twenty years ago. Diving enthusiasm and a passion for developing a wide range of diving highlights for like-minded guests is still the key impetus for our daily work. Within a radius of 300 km, we are the only dive base on the West Coast of Central Sulawesi attaching great importance to an individual guest relations management and maximum safety standards.
Extraordinary service, a great atmosphere and many years of experience of our guides are the key factors to our success and the reason why our base has been so popular with many divers from all over the world!

Depending on the weather and our guests’ individual requests, our dive trips are individually planned, specified in a joint briefing, and made in small groups with no more than four divers per guide. No matter whether you decide on reef diving just a stone’s throw away from the base, which is a paradise for macro fans, night dives, wall diving, or trips to fascinating seamounts: In the nearly pristine places that are reached in only 5-10 minutes approximately, you will definitely experience an extremely wide range of dives!

Our diving area is a natural paradise that even fascinates well-travelled divers: Fascinating pristine underwater landscapes made of massive fan corals, big black corals, precious gorgonians, colourful sponges and fantastic soft and hard corals. The flora and fauna motives for underwater photographers are multiform and colourful including the multifold species, such as head parrot fish, pipe fish, shoals of jack fish, black snappers, turtles, innumerable microbes, schnepf knife fish,
blue spotted stingrays, crocodile fish, and Spanish dancers. Diving - being amazed - enjoying!
