Divers Comment of Lumbalumba Diving Manado

“Dear Lumbalumba team,
When you start diving in this area, you are spoiled for the rest of your life, Hardly you will find anything better, “These were the word in a “Dreams” Magazine at home in Finland. Yes, the magazine was right, the diving places were fantastic”. Unbelievable colourful, great variety of spieces , walls and slopes, one could have spent days under water without getting tired watching the underwater world. But all this was only made complete by you, who are a part of the Lumbalumba team.
The dive instructors were excellent and patient with me as a beginner.
The cooks’ menus were really delicious. Housekeeping worked perfectly. The surroundings, especially the garden, a dream.
Thank you, Juud & Roel , you and your team made these 4 days unforgettable. Where else could I go after this, than to return to your place again “spoiled for the rest of my life”
Peter Vollner (Finland / Germany)

“To all the team at Lumbalumba,
Four years ago, I last enjoyed diving with you, impressed with the values which you all hold, concern for your guests, dedication to make sure we enjoy “diving with the difference”. So now I came to see you all again: not only are your values the same but your new property is well just wonderful. You have transformed a hills hike into a special place.
Thank you for your kindness & for being SO special!
Best wishes”,
Prof. Simon Smail (UK)

“Dag iedereen!,
We doen dit even in het Nederlands maar Roel en Juud zullen dit vast wel kunnen vertalen.
Heerlijk dat er nog plekjes zoals dit bestaan. Het duiken is geweldig, de guides fantastisch en de boot super. Maar wat wordt je er lui van! Alles wordt voor je geregeld, spullen omhangen en genieten maar.
Na het duiken even afkoelen en bijkomen bij de airco in heerlijke accomodatie (het leven is zwaar.....), want je moet je voorbereiden op het dagelijkse feestmaal!
Allemaal, Ik had zo graag willen klagen, maar het lukt me gewoon niet...
Super plek, Super Team,, Super Duiken, Super Eten. Oftewel, we vinden het wel wat ?”
Brigitta & Robert (Nederland)

“Yooo Juud & Roel,
Each year come back each time I ask my self “why?” I guess I will have to keep coming back until I’ve worked out the answer….
So long, Thanks for all the fish!
Missing you already”,
Andy, Marcia & Chris. (UK)

“Dear Juud & Roel
Our first visit to Lumbalumba but it will not be the last! Thank you so much for a wonderful welcome to your beautiful home. You made us feel like friends.
To Roel, many, many thanks for all your patience and support for Jim who arrived as a very nervous diver and leaves with confidence and a feeling of achievement.
See you again for same more “Diving with a difference”!
Best Wishes”,
Pam & Jim xx (UK)
P.S Food was superb! Service excellent ! Dive guides- knowledgeable + fun!

“Dear Lumbalumba Team, all of you!
We had a wonderful time here at the dive centre, but also in the restaurant.
We will remember especially the enthusiastic dive team. Every dive was “legendary” every time with all there was to see. And you even let us stretch the dive-times!
The kitchen with John & Martin was also marvellous. Most mostly all the great fruit, in wonderful quantities.
As for personal attention: we enjoyed all our talks, with Roel and Juud, but also with Maxi, Maria and all the others!
Roel and Juud, thank you for sharing you thoughts about the business, the environment, the energy, conservation., the orchids, the frogs, the snakes, the trees, etc-etc!
For us it’s back to apples ( no more mangoes ) and cold weather ( snow, no warm rain showers)
We had a great time, Thanks”
Steven Groot & Monigue Franck (The Netherlands)

“To all staff at Lumbalumba,
Thank you very much for your hospitality-the family style at the place makes it very welcoming. The environment is cosy and “warm” I am sure with the ‘pool to be” I will spend more time swimming and reading books.
The diving team is very professional and I enjoyed diving very much with them. They enjoy their work and their passion for diving is what makes the trip so unique.
Bunaken, Manado Tua have very beautiful corals, reefs.
I got very close & personal with turtles!! Sunny days and clear blue water. Not sure why it is low season now??
I will be back definitely for a nice holiday and enjoy you warm service again.
Wish you all the best and hope the swimming pool is ready soon. Enjoy your work and don’t stop Diving!!
Call me when it is low season again!!”
