Miguel’s Diving Gorontalo

Miguel’s Diving revolves around ecological sustainability and community development. To sail and dive Gorontalo waters requires experience of the area’s micro environments. Therefore, they trained Gorontalo fishermen as dive staff so the guests could benefit from their local knowledge. Their extensive knowledge of Gorontalo waters is now at your service. This dive center offers a variety of marine environments for scuba diving including pristine coral walls, caverns, muck, multiple pinnacles, shallow coral gardens and wrecks.
