What Miguel's Offers

Miguel's Diving Gorontalo has dive shop facilites on the river at our dock. Our office is located at Gorontalo Oasis Hotel, Jl. Agus Salim No 29, Gorontalo City, Gorontalo Province, Sulawesi. Nestled in the heart of town, the Oasis is a world away. At its center is a grove of giant sago palms surrounding a pool of natural spring water full of fish. Light breezes from the mountains rustle the bamboo. Fragrant flowers perfume the night air. Rooms come with ceramic tile floors, wonderful underwater photo print, two twin beds or a queen size bed, hot water, a/c, international cable TV, mini-bar and breakfast. Hotel facilities include Internet (wi-fi) and a small spa for hair and massage treatments.

Prices are in Indonesian rupiah but can also be paid in US dollars. Local banks do not accept Euro, so we cannot. Local banks only accept new, unblemished USD100 bills. ATMs for cash withdrawals are available in several locations in Gorontalo City. Miguel's Diving can now accept Visa and MasterCard.

What Divers Should Know

• Diving season in Gorontalo is from November until April.

• Payment can be made in Indonesian rupiah, USD or Visa/MasterCard. USD cash must be in new, unmarked, unfolded USD100 bills of 2000 series or newer since local banks will refuse anything else. Miguel's Diving reserves the right to refuse smaller denomination bills or bills that do not meet these criteria and ask for an alternate payment method.

• A diver with a health disorder must bring a medical statement.
• Divers must secure their own travel and health insurance, including evacuation, prior to departure from home. The nearest recompression chamber is in Manado.
