It's time to say food bye after a great week: Ali, Tommy, Joni and Heini. Picture: Living Colours Diving Resort.
The lucky diver Tommy Kuusisto won accommodation package for two people in Helsinki Travel Fair January 2012. - Many of Bunaken's dives leave me speechless, Tommy says after the dive week in Living Colours.
When Tommy Kuusisto, 43, saw more than two years ago the congratulations e-mail in his inbox, he couldn't believe his eyes: one week accommodation for two people in Living Colours Diving Resort in Bunaken National Park, Indonesia.
- I always put the lottery tickets in but this is the first time I actually won something, he smiles on his last night in Living Colours, sipping cold San Miguel beer in Safety Stop beach bar.
Tommy and his diving buddy Joni Hakala, 33, planned this trip quite some time and finally September 2014 they got their holidays together and what a trip it has been!
- I would not change one thing about it. This whole trip has been quite an adventure and great experience under water and on land, Tommy says.

"Now I understand what biodiversity means"
- The first day showed me what a great visibility means. My eyes opened when I realized what biodiversity actually could be. So many species of fish and other marine life in the healthy reefs. I've really come to respect the small stuff more here, Tommy describes his diving experiences in Bunaken's walls and mucks.
Tommy sends his biggest thanks to boat crew and captains, but he specially wants to say few words about the local dive guides.
- Living Colours' dive masters are doing absolutely terrific job when guiding underwater. Not even the smallest nudibranc can hide from the dm's, he laughs.
The giant turtles have impressed Tommy and Joni.
- I've never seen so many and so big turtles anywhere, Joni says amazed.
- And never seen sharks so close by either, he continues.

Tommy says that many of the dives have left him speechless. One thing that has made his very happy is that he dive sites are so close by so there's time to do other things as well.
- I've lost my heart to this place, Tommy shouts over the Safety Stop's loud laughing and music.
- I hope this night never ends. But we will come back, that's for sure, Tommy smiles and cheers with crowded bar full of tanned smiling divers.
