We have spend a week during november 2025 in Svens Panorama Dive Resort and we are super happy about our time at the resorts. The bungalows were clean and pretty and the service and food is amazing. We did not have a single complain during our stay at the Panorama Dive Resort. The reefs around the island are out of this world and there are uncountable turtle, a lot of bigger fish (eagle rays, sharks, whale fish, and crabs) as well as plenty of small water animals to see. The dive instrucors take theire time to show the diffrent animals and sometime take out a magnifying glass to show you the very small creatures living under the sea. 10/10, we can recommond the Panorama Dive Resort both for accomodation as well as diving!

I completed my PADI Open Water certification at Panorama’s Dive Resort, and it was an exceptional experience. My instructor, Ronny, was absolutely outstanding. From the very first session, he made me feel comfortable and motivated. He is extremely friendly and approachable, and at the same time very professional. His English is excellent, and he explained both the theory and the practical skills in a clear and easy-to-understand way. What stood out most was his patience and empathy—he always took the time to answer questions, repeated explanations if necessary, and never made me feel pressured. Before every dive, he gave a thorough briefing that covered not only the skills but also what to expect underwater, which made me feel well prepared and confident. During the dives, he was attentive and reassuring, constantly checking in to make sure I was safe and relaxed. Thanks to his teaching style, I was able to progress step by step and really enjoy the whole learning process. The course itself was well structured: three theory sessions, six dives, and the final exam, spread over four days. The equipment was top quality, and the whole crew was extremely helpful and professional, creating a fun and supportive environment around every dive. The marine life around Bunaken is extraordinary. I saw countless turtles, several reef sharks, and many other surprises on every dive. I especially appreciated the small groups, which meant personal attention and great guidance throughout the course. On top of that, the price-performance ratio is excellent. Getting certified here was one of the best decisions I’ve made, and I would highly recommend this dive center—and especially Ronny as an instructor—to anyone interested in diving or getting certified in Bunaken.
