Dive Overview

Dive sites such as Raja Ampat in West Papua, the Banda Islands and Sulawesi are all excellent destinations for a scuba adventure holiday. The liveaboard cruises take you further afield to such magical places as Komodo and the Banda Sea. Komodo is an island famed throughout the world for its legendary dragons, and all liveaboard trips include going ashore to see these incredible creatures in their natural habitat. But it's not all about monitor lizards. Diving around Komodo means world-class reefs full of colors and life with pinnacles and walls, manta rays and maybe even dolphins and dugongs!

[See: Komodo Dive Travel Guide, Ambon & Alor Dive Travel Guide, & Raja Ampat Travel Guide]
