Day 1

Arrival to Maumere. Boarding and departure.

Day 2

Adunara: Through this narrow straits flow big amounts of water, so rich that attracts all kind of live, from the tiny pygmy to the majestic sperm whale. Adunara mixes all, and here we can focus on great macro dives or go for fishy reefs and some pelagic action. Pygmies or tunas, mantis or bumpheads

Day 3

Pulau Soangi-Lamalera A small island outside Kawula. Soangi offers a dive full of adrenaline. A rocky bottom, often hit by the swells during the windy season, it is a very interesting dive. White tips and nurse sharks, schools of surgeon, snappers. Lamalera is a world heritage side. One of the few places in the world where they still hunt for whales in a traditional way. Extremly interesting to see it, to talk to its people, and who knows. The chance to experience in first hand such a tradition. The diving outside is very nice, for both an afternoon macro dive or a night dive. Orang-utan crabs, nudies, ribbon eels. Quite a show.

Day 4

Pantar. Beangaban. The capital of the muck dive in this area. A fantastic spot!! Black sand and a coral reef create the perfect enviorment for the critter fans: rinophias, big or babies, frog fish, ribbon eals, coleman shrimps, dwarf and blue lion fish - a delight for our eyes and the lenses. The unlimited diving policy pays off well in such a site.

Day 5

Pulau Pura. The wall south of the village is beautiful, fishy and healthy. In Pura is where we can get the children in the water, they are a friendly community. They love to interact. We visit the village and they visit us underwater, with their wooden goggles. In the afternoon, we have a chance to dive with mandarin fish and the night dive in front of the village is fantastic.

Day 6

Gunung Api. Capital of the sea snakes in the world and another of the reasons to join the trip. This remote island has created the right shelter for the snakes; both olive and banded are found there in numbers never seen before. They are known to collaborate with jacks in a symbiotic alliance to hunt together, so far we have not witnessed such behaviour, but we keep on trying. Great view, thousands of fish, nice walls and huge fans and barrel sponges are the attraction for those not so interested in snakes

Day 7

Lucipara. A series of atolls half way in the Banda sea. Perfect visibility, healthy walls and the constant patrolling of tunas, mackerel, rainbow runners or wahoo make this, area very special.

Day 8

Banda Neira At the heart of the spice islands, Banda Neira offers not only some of the most interesting cultural experiences in Indonesia, but fantastic diving. Under its pier, the Mandarin fish have become almost as famous as the nut meg. The lava Flow will teach us how a reef can grow in less than 20 years..amazing!!

Day 9

Banda Time to dive some of the most fascinating pinacles in the Banda Sea: Batu Kapal. On our way out of the island, we will be diving Pulau Soangi, great walls, and good pelagic action including a few sharks.

Day 10

Nusa Laut. One of our favorite reefs, great combination of hard corals and white sand; an extremely healthy reef, lots of fish, bumpheads, schooling jacks, grey reefs, leopard sharks and dugongs have been spotted in several occasions

Day 11

Ambon.The last day will be dedicated to more Macro in one of the top places in the world. A trip to the city, with its amazing history in the afternoon, and an evening to enjoy a drink while remembering the good times of the trip.

Day 12

Ambon: Transfer to the airport and deparure

There is, on this trip, the possibility of staying one more day in Ambon and have a full more day of diving in the bay; macro in Laha and the pertamina Wreck are underwater wonders!!
