Lotus Gangga Island sits on a small island off the coast of North Sulawesi, at the crossroads of Bunaken, Bangka, and Lembeh — three of Indonesia's most celebrated diving destinations. Beachfront bungalows nestle beneath coconut palms, with some of the most biodiverse reefs in the Coral Triangle right outside your door.

Under the shade of coconut trees, where lush gardens meet the sea, Lotus Bungalows Candidasa is a peaceful hideaway for discovering East Bali.

Our dive club booked the entire ship for 14 people. From start to finish we had the most magnificent experience in Raja Ampat. The vessel is superb – well fitted out, beautiful character and very safety concious. The staff are first class, very professional, always smiling, really pampering guests in every way possible. The quality of the food was first class, great variation and plentiful. Now the diving – what do you expect in Raja Ampat, the best of the best. Every dive spectacular, every fish imaginable and the world’s most glorious ocean diving. Thankyou Malaillo, we loved every minute.

It was a long journey from the Netherlands to the Metita resort. At the airport, we were picked up by two incredibly friendly people from the resort: Fajar and Arnold. They took us to the boat, and from that moment on, the real enjoyment began.
Metita Island loomed in the distance, and it became increasingly fairytale-like.

Ronnie gave us a warm welcome with a delicious sandwich and coconut milk. We enjoyed this treat while he gave the briefing.
After we had enjoyed the treats, Ronnie took us to our accommodation, where we looked in disbelief at the beautifully furnished “cottage” with an idyllic view of the ocean. The outdoor shower is also worth mentioning. It is wonderful to be able to shower in nature.

It is worth mentioning that they have a great chef who loves to cook your favorite food, and it tastes fantastic.
Every day, a 4-course dinner is cooked where you can choose from 3 main courses and two or three desserts. Plates are always served with care by two real stars, namely Messi and Albert.

Another nice feature is that you can walk barefoot everywhere because there is sand all over. So you don’t have to worry about which shoes to wear.

The resort features a camera room right next to the dive school.
All kinds of equipment in good condition are available for rent at the dive school.

The boats used for the dives are very comfortable. Towels are provided for use between dives. There is coffee, tea, and some treats… Always lots of treats. The dives are very varied, with many beautiful fan corals but little macro. Shark Point is very attractive with the blacktips and is therefore a “must go”. Special thanks to Fajar, who, together with him, made the diving a real treat for us.
That being said;

From the moment you sail onto the boat to Metita Island, you arrive at a paradise island where Ronnie and Katharina, together with “their” crew, do everything they can to make your vacation unforgettable.

Really cool/special place. Would not expect fancy, but the staff, food, location are exceptional. The dive center was fantastic. Finished my open water cert at the start of my stay. Instructor could not have been better. And the spa is gorgeous. Hope to be back someday.

I had an amazing dive training and holiday with Gangga Divers. Wayan and Gede took care me very well. They are very professional and know the “3 Islands” so well. Their own boat is so well organized. Safety is always their priority, that makes the dive trips outstanding. The sites can be tricky (current and visability) that you need professional teams to bring you there. The experience down the diving sites is just amazing.
