Indonesia

Wakatobi

The islands that make up the Wakatobi chain have some of the world’s best diving with atolls, walls, fringing reefs, sea mounts & a barrier reef contributing to the almost limitless diving opportunities.

The national park comprises of four main islands, Wangi Wangi, Kaledupa, Tomea & Binongki (thus the name WaKaToBi) the reach out from the south-eastern tip of Sulawesi.

Raja Ampat

Raja Ampat is located on the remote north-western tip of Western Papau in the Halmahera Sea, and fittingly means 'four kings'. It is the most biologically diverse place known to science.

With such natural riches, scuba diving in Raja Ampat is some of the best in the world, particularly for diving on coral reefs. There are some excellent diving resorts in Raja Ampat, but the area is best known for its liveaboard diving.

Lembeh Strait

Lembeh Strait separates little Lembeh island from the north-eastern shores of Sulawesi. It is famed for its exceptional muck diving.

The coastline either side of the Lembeh Strait has a rugged beauty, but it is the action below the waves that draws divers here.

Komodo National Park

Komodo National Park is the home of the Komodo Dragon - and also some of the best diving in Indonesia.

It is a popular liveaboard diving destination.

The national park comprises of two main islands, Komodo Island and Rinca Island, along with numerous smaller islets. These current swept islands of Komodo are home to a huge amount of diversity, wonderful coral reefs, a profusion of marine life and no shortage of pelagic action.

Bunaken National Park

Situated off the northern coast of Sulawesi, Bunaken provides a variety of excellent dive sites.

A marine park since 1991, it is one of Indonesia's most famous diving spots.

The nutrient-rich waters result in vibrant and healthy reef eco-systems, with a high level of bio-diversity and superb marine life sightings.

Bali

Possibly Indonesia's most well known tourist destination, the diving in Bali is also excellent.

Many divers head to Tulamben on Bali's eastern coast, home of the USS Liberty wreck.

To the south of Bali lie the islands of Nusa Penida, Lembongan and Ceningan, where Manta Rays and Mola Mola can be seen in season.
