Bangka Is. or Siladen Is. ?????

I will go to North Sulawesi for the first time on next october.

Among my choices i'm considering to spend some days in a small island with nice beach and close shallow reef ,to make my non-diver girlfriend happy , just relaxing and making some snorkeling.Meanwhile i can make some ambient light panoramic pics.

Anyone had been in such islands ?

Until now my options are : Onong Resort at Siladen or Murex at Bangka . Both very small, non-luxury resorts , more in the natural side.

I will appreciate any comment based in previous experience .

Gracias

PD. pls. don't suggest to leave my girlfriend at home, because i already considered that option. <_<

how about asking your gf do an open water course in Manado? solve all your future problems as well.
