Starting with muck diving we cross the Banda Sea, tracing the perimeter of islands. Let our experienced crew show you these remote and almost untouched locations with wonderful reefs and stunning drop-offs. The marine life here is in abundance from the critters, sea snakes, manta rays, sharks, and much more.

Important Notes

• On regular diving days, we have scheduled 3 dives. This is because these days typically involve deeper dives and longer distances between the islands. When circumstances permit, our Cruise Leader may also include a bonus night dive. Please note that this doesn't apply to the Trip Departure day and the Trip Return day.
• This trip is scheduled to start at 2 pm, trip departure day. If your domestic flight arrives after 13:00, then we request you arrive the day before, NOT on the trip departure day.
• For Hotel pick-ups, we will only arrange transfers exclusively for designated local hotels. If your hotel is not included in this list, you will be responsible for organizing your transfer from the hotel to the specified pick-up location.

The last dive will be on the penultimate day of the trip at around 12 pm. Divers are recommended to wait for 24 hours before flying after the last dive.
