In Sulawesi, Indonesia, about 30 minutes drive from the hustle & bustle of Manado is Tasik Ria Resort & Spa. Here with its peaceful and scenic palm fringed backdrop is a family-owned and run resort that offers not only luxury and comfort but also a level of warmth and hospitality which in today’s frantic world is such a rarity. The resort has 20 standard villas surrounding a free-form freshwater swimming pool plus premier sea-view cottages with sunset views over the water. Snorkeling and SCUBA diving at Bunaken Marine Park is only a 45 minute ride by the purpose built dive boat. Tasik Ria also has five stunning house reefs and two amazing mangrove dives just on its doorstep. Plenty to keep the macro photographer happy. In 2006 Jason Isley and Matt Oldfield spent a week at the resort filming and photographing to produce the following promotional video:
