Banda Sea
Embark on a truly once-in-a-lifetime voyage across the remote and legendary Banda Sea, one of Indonesia’s most captivating and least-explored diving frontiers. This extraordinary journey takes you deep into the heart of the volcanic inner arc of the Ring of Fire —an active tectonic zone that has shaped some of the most dramatic and pristine landscapes on Earth.
Discover unique and remarkable scenery both above and below the waves, where volcanic activity has created breath-taking geological landscapes with a great diversity of dive sites and marine life.
Komodo
Located in the heart of the Indonesian archipelago, Komodo is one of the most breathtaking and diverse diving destinations in Indonesia. Komodo is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its iconic dragons, offering dramatic landscapes of rugged hillsides, dry savannahs, thorny green vegetation, and pristine sandy beaches.
Experience the spectacular biodiversity of more than 50 world-class dive sites, ranging from blue-water current dives with a chance of glimpsing large pelagic species to muck dives discovering exotic critters and invertebrates.
Raja Ampat
Immerse yourself in diving paradise in Raja Ampat – the world’s richest and most biodiverse dive destination.
Above water, admire its jungle-covered limestone islands, enchanting lagoons, and dense mangrove forests. Underwater, explore a vast array of dive sites teeming with coral and marine life. Here, no two trips are ever the same. Raja Ampat is worth visiting again and again.
Triton Bay
Situated along the southern coast of West Papua, Triton Bay is home to a plethora of underwater delights. It is also Kaimana’s best-kept secret – promising rich rewards to divers seeking an experience away from the crowds.
Below its lush green landscapes and untouched beaches, find impressive black coral forests, spot a glimpse of the resident pod of pilot whales, excellent whale shark action, and all manner of critters.
Derawan Islands
Located off the east coast of Kalimantan, the islands of Sangalaki, Maratua and Kakaban in the Derawan Archipelago offer everything you need in the ultimate dive safari.
Sheer drop-offs, thrilling drift dives, and colourful reefs form a spectacular back drop to breath-taking pelagic action – witness manta rays, schools of trevallies, barracudas, and sightings of hammerhead and thresher sharks. Between dives, trek through a scenic tropical jungle to visit a beautiful freshwater jellyfish lake, or witness baby turtles hatching on the beach in Sangalaki.
Lembeh/Halmahera
In Lembeh, submerge yourself into a psychedelic underwater world filled with both the beautiful and bizarre. Each dive is an exhilarating treasure hunt for critters in every shape and size – some as tiny as your smallest fingernail. Keep your eyes peeled for the flamboyant cuttlefish, Lembeh seadragon, coconut octopus, pygmy seahorse, hairy frog fish, and more.
Dive into an explosion of colour and life in the rich coastal habitats of Halmahera, where soft corals, hard corals, and gorgonians make for great wide-angle photography.
