Spice Island Divers Ambon
This is a very nice resort. The cottages are comfortable and spacious. Each cottage has a porch that looks out over the water where you can relax after a day of diving. The grounds are well maintained. All of the buildings are open air, allowing the sea breeze to keep things cool.
Food is eaten in common with a nice menu of a limited variety of options, Asian being the primary cuisine on the menu for all meals. Meals include a soup/salad, main course, and dessert. The food was very good and the wait staff was wonderful.
The diving was very nice here. The dive team were very helpful in helping you to get the most out of each dive, always on the lookout for the little critters that surely would go unseen if not for the expert eye. Some of the things we saw included Fire Urchins, Snowflake Moray Eel, Zebra crab, Emperor Shrimp, Paddle-flap Scorpion Fish, Ghost Pipefish, Harlequin Shrimp, Seahorse, Box Fish, and Pink Lionfish. And there are several variety of knudi's. The gear area was great. There is also a very nice A/C camera room. I was having issues with my strobe and the manager lent me his strobe so I could still get pictures. He was so kind.
I would recommend this resort especially to those who enjoy muck and critter diving.
