I'll be in Northern Sulawesi for 5 or 6 nights with my partner in June. I'm an AOW diverlooking for some fairly casual diving but seeing something a bit out of the norm would be great, especially pelagics.
She's just starting to get confident at snorkelling so would be looking for some easily accessible reefs off the beach without boat trips if possible.
We'd also like to do a day in Tangkoko.
What would would be your reccomendations between Lembeh, Bangka and Bunaken?
Is Lembeh just muck diving? I've done it before in the Philippines and Borneo and really enjoyed it but I don't want to go just for that despite it being close to Tangkoko.
Is it true Bunaken is mainly turtles with less reefs and fish? I love them but we've seen quite a lot over the past few years.
Any shop/hotel/resort reccomendations would also be appreciated.

Is it true Bunaken is mainly turtles with less reefs and fish? I love them but we've seen quite a lot over the past few years so it would be good to see something else.
