City Extra
Boat-access muck site for macro life in Manado Bay.
Boat-access muck site in Manado Bay with seagrass, dark sand, and a calm critter-hunting profile for slow macro diving.
About City Extra
City Extra is a boat-access muck dive in the Manado Bay area of North Sulawesi, with a gentle sandy slope, seagrass beds, and patchy rubble that make it a strong macro-photo site. The shallow profile keeps the action close, so patient divers can work the bottom slowly and look for cephalopods, frogfish, pipefish, and other small subjects. It suits divers who want easy buoyancy, close-up critter hunting, and relaxed boat diving rather than big-wall scenery.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Shallow depths and macro-focused marine life make it well suited to relaxed scuba dives.
Freediving
This is not a freedive-first site; the best subjects sit close to the bottom and reward scuba-style macro hunting.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site. The shallow edge exists, but the best finds are on the bottom and are better suited to scuba.
