Komodo

World class diving surrounding the land of the Komodo dragon

The Komodo Archipelago is bone-dry and desolate. Life underwater is in stark contrast to life above. The biodiversity is absolutely immense.

Alor

Plankton-rich water creates a underwater paradise.

The Alor Archipelago is very difficult to reach. Therefore, tourism on this inhospitable piece of land is still pretty under developed. Diving occurs primarily from live aboards.

Maratua

Idyllic, pristine and out-of-the-way island

Maratua is an out of the way island off the coast of Borneo. You have to make a little effort to get here, but the moment you set foot on the island you feel as though you are in paradise.

Bali

The most touristy island of Indonesia

The island of Bali is very touristy and many reefs near the coast are ruined. The dive spots which lie further out to sea will enchant even the most spoilt diver.

Diving Lankayan
The island, Pulau Lankayan, consists of tropical rainforest encircled by stunning beaches. Diving takes place primarily off boats and the dive spots are close to the coast. The macro world is especially extraordinary. Apart from the smaller tropical fish you will also encounter giant octopi, barracudas, mackerel, sharks and eels. In April you will come across whale sharks around Lankayan and sometimes even a dugong. The hard and soft corals, gorgons and sponges are healthy and colourful. Coral bleaching is not a great problem here.

Two wrecks
The two wrecks are completely different. The “Lankayan Wreck” was a poaching ship that fished illegally and was sunk. Now it is home to a diversity of fish types, such as the small cardinal fish and larger perch. An impressive spot at a depth of 23 meters.
