Dive Overview

Indonesia offers exceptional diving diversity, and Cachalo's itineraries explore several of the country's most renowned regions. Raja Ampat is known for extraordinary marine biodiversity, colorful hard and soft coral reefs, large schools of fish, manta rays, sharks, and a variety of macro life. The region lies within the Coral Triangle and offers a mix of reef, muck, and mangrove diving.

Komodo is famous for exhilarating drift dives, strong currents, manta rays, sharks, large schools of fish, healthy coral reefs, and macro life. The Banda Sea and Alor offer additional opportunities for pelagic encounters, reef diving, and unusual marine life, making the routes well suited to divers looking to experience different sides of Indonesia on a liveaboard trip.
