24. Muka Gereja
"Muka" means front and "Gereja" means church. Once you arrive at this spot it's obvious why it got such a name. Muka Gereja is a splendid wall dive with very little current and calm water. What can you expect at Muka Gereja? It's a steep wall with lots of caverns and overhanging cliffs. There are huge barrel sponges, some with a diameter of over 1 metre and rich coral growth. One of the best observations was an immense school of striped catfish, so big and so "dense" that most watching divers thought it was a huge Whale! Visibility is good to excellent and, as said earlier, current is most of the time mild. The magnificent views of Manado Tua's 800 meters high volcano gives this site an extra dimension.
