The Team |

Kres
|
Kres
is our youngest guide and has been with us since 1998.
He is the youngest but also the most ambitious one
and we don't think it will take long before he is
instructor himself. Very eager to learn, he has great
knowledge of underwater life. His ever so charming
attitude, makes him real pleasant company to be with. |
|
| The
sweetest dive guide you've ever been diving with.
Already 8 years with us, she has an extensive knowledge
of what we have on marine life down here. Her never
failing enthusiasm will leave an impression hard
to forget. Maxi's wife and since November 2001,
she is also the mother of Tiara and she can't wait
to show her daughter Bunaken's underwater miracles. |

| Maria
|
|
Dive
guide, boat captain, consultant, arranger of permits,
director and sometimes mistaken for engineer. Also
Maria's husband and Tiara's father. This very much
appreciated, all-round and helpful staff member has
been with us from the very beginning. Whether you
go diving, shopping, or on a land tour with him, you
always come back with more knowledge. |
| Maxi |
| Boat
captain of Diver II and III. (not at the same time...)
His calm presence behind the helm gives you an assured
and safe feeling whilst sailing to the next dive
spot. Always in for a joke and full of humor, he
is a guy you'll remember with joy. Though being
captain is his main job, Suban is also an excellent
diver, so you might meet him under water as well!

All the beautifull made up appetizers, salads
and fruit dishes are his brain childs. Together
they are a team hard to beat! |

Revol
is multifunctional. His communication skills are
well developed, he can dive, is a good bartender
and together with Maxi, he arranges a lot of inevitable
paperwork with the various local authorities.
He has great knowlegde of music and once you start
a conversation with him, you will be hooked for
at least an hour........ |
| Revol |
Is
our first class chef. In his open kitchen,
together with John, he creates the most delicious
dishes and is a master on the barbeque. He knows
many recipes from all over the world. Marthin,
you shouldn't talk about, Marthin you have to
taste!

Tommy
is the head of the engineering department and
his own chef and staff. He is also our most senior
employee. Electrical problems, water supply and
maintenance, Tommy takes care of it in no time.
If you ever wonder who that quiet man with the
continuous BIG smile is?..........yes that's Tommy!

Jhoni,
Emanuel, Freddy, Denny, Henky & Theo
are the gate keepers. Together with Jodie our
(watch) dog, they form the security team and keep
an eye on your and our properties on a 24 hour

good to know someone is awake when we are sleeping. |

Sem
started as deckhand but worked his way up and
is now a proud diveguide as well. Because of this
you will often meet him on the boat. Originally
from the island of Morotai in the North Molluccas,
he is at home on and in the sea. Do him a favour
and don't try to speak Indonesian with him. For
Sem, English is the language! |

| Oooops
........, almost forgot these two. Juud & Roel,
two Dutch, Padi Open Water Scuba Instructors. Previously
active on the Maldives and in Sri Lanka, they started
in Indonesia in 1996 with their Tasik Ria Diving
Centre. Now, their way of living, is creating the
new ultimate divers dream:
"LUMBALUMBA DIVING”. Together with their dedicated
staff, they always try to make your stay, one you
will remember with pleasure. With a warm heart for
nature, they see conservation of Bunaken's reefs
as one of their primary tasks.
Warning. Once you been diving and staying with them,
you will want to come back! |

"And
last but not least", Tiara:
Tiara is the now 4 years old daughter of Maria &
Maksi. She is not a staff member (yet) but she belongs
to the generation we borrowed the reefs from. When
we are gone she will take over to show the reefs
to your children. That's one of the reasons we like
to protect them......... |
