located at Wori Bay, Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia,
is just a 25-minute drive from
Manado's Sam Ratalangi International Airport.
The short drive through small villages and extensive
coconut groves, lends a welcome to this tropical
location of Northern Sulawesi - on an area of outstanding
natural beauty with warm, friendly people: followed
by an equally warm Odyssea welcome by our management
staff.
began its journey in year Feburary 2004 led by
Martinus Wawanda (Manado) and Andrew Lok (Singapore).
Building and recruitment for Odyssea Divers began
during the late stages of the construction of the first Resort & Spa in the month of April. Our first day boat,
Angelina was commissioned on 03 June 2004. In the early
stages, our development was concentrated in staff
training and instilling them with our Odyssea
Values. We started with a small team of locals
who are experienced in our field and committed
to train more locals as well as help develop a training
program for the neighbouring villagers.
Our first guests arrived in September 2004 and from then on, we have been serving our guests from all over the world dutifully and along the way, have grown from strength to strength in our facilities, services and value.
Today (May 2007), we have a
total of 23 (Land Operators) and 16 (Ship Operators),
of which 80% have gained employment through our development
program. Our Development program has not ceased
and many of the locals continue to benefit from
our commitment to make a better future for all
of them.
On 1 October 2007 , we will bring
this commitment to our new Dive Resort - CocoTinos "A Small beach Resort"
opens to serve more divers, friends
and family, providing more opportunities to our
neighbouring villages and beyond.
Odyssea Asia Pte Ltd, the managing company based in Singapore and its management and staff provide the support for international marketing awareness and communication. With this support, our services facilities are available in English, Japanese (www.odysseadivers.jp), Spanish, Italian, Mandarin, Cantonese and more in the near future.

Live-aboard
Showing the world that quality
live-aboards can originate from North Sulawesi,
MV Odyssea 1 is the pride of the
locals here in Manado and Sangihe. Both ships
are 100% built in Indonesia and are fully registered
in Indonesia. MV Odyssea 1 is certified for all
Indonesian waters.
 MV Odyssea 1 is our luxury Live-aboard that offers extended range trips within North Sulawesi and beyond to Sangihe, Halmahera, Papua ( formerly known as Irian Jaya) and Central Sulawesi.. Commissioned on April 11 2006 by Manado's Harbour Master Chief himself (pictured, extreme right), which is a real honour as the cheif does not normally go himself for other vessels. He has heard so much about the ship when it was being built that he made a special effort to postpone his other engagements just to personally be onboard. MV Odyssea 1 gained many recognition for her interiors, design and especially her cabins. She offers larger groups of up to 16 with plenty of room to spare. More...
Our Odyssea Land
 Odyssea
has brought a breath of fresh air to Northern
Sulawesi with professionalism, quality, and enthusiasm,
offering the discerning diver a flexible way to dive at their own convenience.
Based in Cocotinos, the dive centre boasts its own swimming pool (up to 2m in depth), a Digital Studio available to photographers & videographers, extensive equipment & camera hire, with a useful dive shop. Plenty of expert advice on hand: be it equipment, critter IDs or just a chat.
Odyssea Divers is a certified PADI & SSI Dive Centre. So even if you don't come as a diver, you could very well leave as one! Comprehensive Digital photography courses are held with established photographers from time to time.
Cocotinos overlooks the
mangrove-fringed Wori Bay. The grounds provide opportunities
to record some of the most beautiful of sunsets;
the panorama on offer is the majestic dormant volcano of Manado Tua and
Bunaken Island. The resort is just a 25 minute drive from Manado's Sam Ratalangi
International Airport - one of the shortest, if
not, the closest drive to and from the airport. More...
