Day Trip

 

Remarks

Day 1-2

Alor

  • Arrival at Alor. You will be picked up by our crew members at the airport. After an initial general dive briefing, we will do our check dive with you at an easy and protected dive site.
  • We start with Alor and is time for some action packed current drift dives with potential for big stuff. All our dives are going to be either slope or wall dives. We have spotted here in the past: Oceanic Sunfish, BigDogtooth Tuna and Thresher Sharks. Popular dive sites here: School’s Out, Anemone City, The Great Wall of Pantar

Day 3

Reong

  • Reong, a small island just off the coast of Wetar. Very fishy wall diving with small caverns and overhangs in which nurse sharks like to chill out during the day. In the shallows we find a hard coral heaven that will delight every snorkeler.

Day 4

Romang - Niata

  • Gentle slopes offer some beautiful and relaxed diving around the island group of Romang. Huge Gorgonians in various colours and big barrel sponges all around. Besides many reef fish, you may see some reef sharks or tuna passing by.in Niata island the dive is caracterized by nice wall and overhanging ,very fishy. As we have got a long crossing ahead over night, there will be three day dives only.

Day 5

Pulau Nila – Karang Doisburg

  • Five miles from the small island of Nila we find an atoll and even prettier coral growths along the walls. Again the focus lies here on large pelagic fish passing by out in the blue. The close-by island of Nila offers us protection for the night’s anchorage and gives us the possibility for a night dive. We may also choose to visit the local village, located at the foot of a active vulcano, where people live exclusively out of the harvest of cloves. This secluded spot is hardly ever visited by outsiders (on the average once every six months) and is a rare treat for those who want the know the true hidden nature of Indonesia

Day 6

Nil Desperandum - Serua

  • An atoll with steep walls rising from the deep. Weather conditions permitting we will spend a whole day here. Mainly steep walls all around and some sloppy parts. Very nice growth of fans and sponges. But we are in for the big pelagic stuff. Schooling sharks have been often seen here in the past.

Day 7

Gili Manuk

  • This place is also known by the name ‘Snake Island’. If you’ve got a phobia of snakes you should definitely go diving here to face your fear and thereby cure it. You may encounter dozens of sea snakes in one single dive. These graceful creatures, though highly venomous, are very peaceful, sometimes even curious. Despite these reptiles there is plenty of reef fish but also pelagics around. On top of all thousands and thousands of seabirds are nesting here. A very unique and spectacular place. Our favourite dive site is called: ‘Smoking Hot’

Day 8 - 10

Around Banda Island

  • The famous Spice Islands, the island group around Banda Neira, which is also historically very interesting. Wars were fought over these islands by colonial powers as these islands used to be the only islands in the world were nutmeg grew. A historical walk through the town of Banda Neira with it’s museum and two forts is a must. An interesting option for ambitious challenge seekers is to climb the vulcano Gunung Api, which raises ‘only’ 600 m above sea level. Which in the tropics however turns into a strenuous climb. The diving here is very diverse and spectacular. As these volcanic islands raise up to the surface surrounded by deep sea water, the chances for sightings of large pelagics are very good. In the past we’ve often encountered schooling hammerheads here. A dive site called ‘Lava Flow’ is one of the most pristine hard coral reefs you will ever see. After the last eruption of Gunung Api in 1988 a flow of lava made it’s way down into the ocean and destroyed the whole reef. What has grown back ever since will boggle your mind. In the harbour of Banda Neira we’ve got a beautiful Mandarin Fish dive waiting for you. Other highlights include: ‘The Cathedral’, ‘Batu Kapal’ and ‘Karang Hatta’. And on top of all we will take you on potential Hammerhead Shark dives at Pulau Run.

Day 11

Suanggi

  • A beautiful small island in the middle of Banda Sea reached by liveaboard only. Is a oasis for birds and fish. We dive between the pristine hard coral reef full of pelagics, huge school of barracuda or tuna, fusiliers and banner fish etc. We meet hammerhead shark too in this spot in the past.

Day 12

Ambon

  • Arrive at Ambon and our crew will drop you to Ambon airport...and this is the end our trip. Thank you, see you again
