Bango is a reef and wall dive site located off Bunaken Island, Indonesia. The topography features a wall that drops into deeper water, with typical dives conducted between 20 and 30 metres. Visibility at the site ranges from 10 to 35 metres. Access is by boat, and divers should be prepared for mild currents that can strengthen along the wall with little warning. Due to these potential current changes, the site is best suited for intermediate divers. Divers should confirm their pickup plan with the boat skipper before descending and monitor their position along the wall throughout the 60-minute dive.
