Upwellings driven by the currents flood the reefs and islands with nutrient-rich, colder water, as well as distributing the eggs and larvae of thousands of species from throughout Asia and Australia. As a result, migrating mammals like whales and dolphins, thousands of fish and coral species, and some of the world’s weirdest macro wildlife can all be seen here – sometimes in a single day of diving!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Exceptional Marine life\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Many of the most sought after marine species can be found throughout Indonesia. The archipelago boasts numerous whale shark hotspots, where sightings are more or less guaranteed, as well as cleaning stations for other megafauna such as mola mola and manta rays. In fact, Raja Ampat is one of the few places in the world where both reef and oceanic manta rays are regularly seen frequenting the same dive site. Other sizable marine life found in Indonesia includes reef sharks, an abundance of green and hawksbill turtles, and the exceedingly rare dugong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indonesia’s reefs are inhabited by an array of tropical fish, including boisterous schools of barracuda, trevally, and snapper, alongside colourful fusiliers, flasher wrasse, \u003Cem>Anthias\u003C\u002Fem>, and anemonefish. Tiny crustaceans, nudibranchs, and cephalopods are also prolific, though often harder to spot. And, Indonesia’s marine life is made even more exceptional by the presence of fascinating endemic species found nowhere else on earth – including types of epaulette shark that have been known to walk on dry land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Diving environments\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>One of the best things about scuba diving in Indonesia is the huge variety of underwater environments on offer. This diverse range of habitats to explore means that divers of all kinds can find a spot to suit them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Drift diving\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Many of Indonesia's diving destinations are infamous for their dramatic currents, which are part of one of the largest movements of water on earth. Known as the Indonesian Throughflow, this movement is the result of differing sea levels between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. As a result of this difference in sea level, huge volumes of water are pulled through the islands, which funnel the flow and create dramatic currents that are perfect for drift diving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lombok Strait between Bali and Lombok, Sape Strait between Sumbawa and Komodo, and the Ombai Strait between Alor and Timor are the region's largest channels – and all three offer incredible scuba diving with flourishing coral reefs and thrilling drift dives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Muck and macro diving\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Indonesia’s thriving reefs, volcanic rubble, and strong currents loaded with larvae have also contributed to a markedly different style of diving. The likes of Lembeh strait, Ambon and Alor are among the best macro diving destinations in the world, playing host to a spectrum of mind-boggling miniature marine life. These creatures have often been deposited in unlikely locations by the currents, left to carve out a life in less than favourable conditions. And, this struggle for survival has led to some otherworldly adaptations and behaviours – from the copycat camouflage of the mimic octopus to the mesmerising mating ceremony of the mandarinfish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Coral reef diving\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>Indonesia is ideally situated in the middle of an area known as the Coral Triangle, guaranteeing some of the healthiest and most diverse coral reefs anywhere on the planet. Divers will discover a wide range of soft and hard coral here, from sea fans, hydroids and carnation corals to brain, branching, hood corals, and more. In fact, the epicentre of the Coral Triangle’s diversity actually lies within Indonesia, and an incredible 574 coral species can be found here – that’s 72% of the world’s total! And it goes without saying that healthy coral reefs attract huge numbers of fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch4>Frontier diving\u003C\u002Fh4>\n\u003Cp>With the dive industry venturing ever further from the beaten path, new unmissable dive destinations are being discovered in Indonesia all the time. Getting to these far-flung frontiers is no small task, but divers who are willing to make the long journey will be rewarded with some incredible underwater experiences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Derawan Archipelago represents one of the country's newest and most remarkable diving destinations, delivering astonishing interactions with whale sharks and manta rays. Triton Bay and Cenderawasih Bay are two remote parts of the Bird's Head Seascape, offering colourful soft corals, reliable whale shark sightings, stunning WWII era shipwrecks, and incredible macro creatures. And finally, the brooding Banda Sea boasts some of the wildest diving adventures on earth, including swarms of sea snakes and hammerheads schooling in their hundreds.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"type":183,"tabTitle":193,"tabContent":194},"What time of year is best to dive in Indonesia?","\u003Ch3>Borneo and Sulawesi\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>The dry season in Borneo and some parts of Sulawesi runs from March to October, with the first rains arriving in November or December. Strong winds in January and February can bring powerful swell and rough seas to exposed areas which can restrict diving activities in remote areas around the Derawan Archipelago. Further winds during August can also cause rough seas around exposed islands such as Bangka and Gangga.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Bali, Lombok and Komodo\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>This massive geographic region stretches all the way from Bali to Wetar near Timor, and includes the Gili Islands, Komodo, and Flores. The diving here is good all year long, with most areas such as Bali, Lombok, and the Gilis offering great diving no matter the month. But there are some slight shifts with the seasons. Komodo is most affected by these changes, with the southern region becoming difficult to access during the dry season, from April to December.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Raja Ampat, Banda Sea and West Papua\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>In Raja Ampat and West Papua, the wet and windy season blows from July to September, with the dry season – and best diving – stretching from October to June. This is also true of the Banda Sea, which is best visited between September and October when hammerheads can be seen schooling en masse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Seasonal scuba diving changes \u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Each year, a significant seasonal shift takes place between two of Indonesia’s most popular dive destinations, Komodo and Raja Ampat. As the dry northwest monsoon ends in Raja Ampat, the remote southern sites of Misool become inaccessible. As a result, many liveaboards depart Raja Ampat at this time, heading towards Komodo, where the dry season is just getting started. Along the way, these vessels will navigate across the Banda Sea, allowing divers to tag along for a thrilling extended expedition. \u003C\u002Fp>",{"type":183,"tabTitle":196,"tabContent":197},"Who is Indonesian scuba diving suitable for?","\u003Cp>Much of Indonesia’s most exceptional diving is best-suited to divers with a degree of experience, simply because of the remote locations and strong currents. But you don’t need to be a professional to explore these waters. Getting comfortable with currents and drift diving is one of the key considerations for less experienced divers. And, if you plan on heading to muck diving meccas such as Lembeh or Ambon, impeccable neutral buoyancy is a must.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, there’s plenty for newer divers to enjoy without pushing their limits. Bali is a popular spot for beginners, offering access to some of Indonesia’s iconic underwater highlights, including the manta rays of Nusa Penida and Tulamben’s USAT Liberty Wreck – one of the most accessible shipwrecks in the world. Even areas such as Komodo are not out of the question, with quick two or three day liveaboard trips hitting some of the more appropriate sites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>Can you learn to dive in Indonesia?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Never tried scuba diving before? Don’t worry, Indonesia is an ideal place to learn how to dive. As we already mentioned, Bali is a popular destination to dip your toe into the world of scuba diving, thanks to its accessible reefs and wrecks. Likewise, the nearby Gili Islands are an iconic tourist destination and perfect scuba training ground, offering warm, glassy water and numerous sheltered dive sites. And, with Indonesia’s dive industry so well established, beginners will find plenty of dive operators offering professional training through reputable organisations such as PADI and SSI.\u003C\u002Fp>",{"type":183,"tabTitle":199,"tabContent":200},"What is the best way to dive Indonesia?","\u003Ch3>Dive resort of liveaboard?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>Deciding on a resort or liveaboard is often the biggest question for divers visiting Indonesia. Dedicated divers looking to explore as many world-class dive sites as possible will likely favour a liveaboard. While divers in search of a more laid-back trip combining land and ocean-based interests may feel more at home in a resort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, there are also some logistical considerations. Dive resorts are often limited in remote and wide-ranging frontier diving destinations such as the Banda Sea, Cenderawasih Bay, Misool, Triton Bay, and Halmahera, making them far easier to explore via liveaboard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Ch3>How much does it cost to dive in Indonesia?\u003C\u002Fh3>\n\u003Cp>It’s tricky to advise exactly how much it will cost to go scuba diving in Indonesia, as the price can vary dramatically between islands. In popular backpacker haunts such as Bali, you might expect to pay around $400 - $500 for an Open Water certification, while at a remote resort in Raja Ampat, for example, the same course could almost double in price. Likewise, fun dives for certified divers can cost anywhere between $25 for a shore dive in Tulamben to around $75 for a boat dive in West Papua, with the price for dives in spots such as Komodo and Sulawesi sitting somewhere in between. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For more detailed information on the cost of diving in Indonesia, as well as dive prices for particular destinations, resorts or liveaboards, get in touch with one of our expert travel advisors today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>",{"type":183,"tabTitle":202,"tabContent":203},"How to get to Indonesia and its more remote destinations","\u003Cp>Most divers from outside Indonesia will arrive in Bali, Manado in Sulawesi or Jakarta, the capital. Both Bali and Jakarta are well connected to other Asian air travel hubs such as Singapore, Hong Kong, China or Dubai. Manado in Sulawesi has direct flights from Singapore and China. Once in Indonesia, several different domestic airlines connect the country from east to west, making island-hopping between dive destinations simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bali is the most popular entry point for divers as you can dive Bali itself, or head to Sulawesi, Komodo, or Borneo. If travelling to Raja Ampat, the easiest entry point is actually Jakarta as the ‘red eye’ overnight flight from Jakarta to Sorong gets you into West Papua nice and early in the morning, in time to board your liveaboard or meet the transfer to your resort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there is an extensive network of ferries in Indonesia, the cost and ease of plane travel, as well as the distances involved, mean we recommend flying throughout the country.
