Hello. sorry for using English bcz my Manado friend's computer didn't have the Chinese spelling and my computer is back to China for repairing.
for the dive shop, u can choose in Manado or Bunaken.
if u want quite life, i suggest u to Bunaken. bcz i live in Manado for four months already and finish my dive master course here.
in Bunaken ,there's a dive shop operated by Chinese.they are not the traditional Chinese style dive shop, bcz in April, when i dive there, i see a dive master shaking the stick in the sea to stop a European old man touching the turtle and looked very angry. after i finish diving, i asked the local dm, which dive shop is on that boat. the answer is fly fish(feiyu), and i talked with the Chinese instructor in fly fish. she said to me they don't allow the customer use the glove and stick to destroy the ocean. aonther dive shop on Bunaken i suggest is Two fish. the very old dive shop brand here, first i want to finish my dive master course there. but they need me to live in their dive shop, considering the time and money i give up.
In Manado, i suggest u to go some 5 star PADI dive resort.
Thalassa 5 PADI Dive resorts.they also have technical diving, a very professional dive shop. the disadvantage is that they're a little far away the downtown.u need 30 minutes driving.and they are not very cheap.
another is Tasik, they are also very good dive resort, i heard there's a Chinese female instructor.maybe it's a little expensive bcz their diving boat is really huge(comparing the other dive shop) than what i've seen in Manado. also it's far from the downtown.
if u want to live a little near with the downtown, i suggest u the ECO dive shop in Mercure(the hotel which EX 3 film taken the view there).this dive shop is around 20-25 minutes from the downtown. the dive shop is located in the hotel, so u can book the hotel by urself(bcz the hotel is not expensive in Chinese app, it's around 300RMB for one night, u need to book the new building not the old building.the old building is always for the Chinese tour group it's old and not very good. the new building room is like Sheraton in downtown.i live both hotel already in the past four months) and the dive shop can also help u book the dive and accommodation package. normally the diving is Manado is aroung 350-400RMB per dive( except the unregistered dive shop what we called black shop),the price in ECO dive shop is cheaper among the 5 star PADI dive shop and also provide very good service.
the normal dive shops use the wooden boat, i also go onto the wooden boat. it's not as good as on the steel boat.the three dive shops i mentioned above in Manado, they all use steel boat and have the shower service which the wooden boat can't provide.

太感谢了，非常的详细啊！！ 我现在其实也有点纠结是住岛上还是在市区，因为美娜多湾好像也挺多潜点的，也能看微距，所以现在有点偏向于住美娜多本岛上。请问Eco dive shop就是eco divers吗
我也来搭车问问美娜多潜店的fd价格一般是怎样的？我上次在MM是一日三潜布纳肯含装备含中饭，900RMB（原价1050，我还价的），感觉有点贵。。其它潜店应该便宜不少吧？
