About Onong’s House Reef
Onong's House Reef is a Siladen house reef with a shallow start, a coral-rich wall, and direct resort-front access in Bunaken National Park. It is the easy on-site option for snorkelling and short shore dives, while the deeper park sites are usually boat trips. The reef mixes healthy corals, sponges, and the kind of reef fish that make repeated laps worthwhile. Expect current to be part of the plan, but the house reef still works well when conditions are reasonable.
