DAY 1

Embarkment in Benoa Bali, departure dives around Bali

DAY 2

Moyo and Satonda. Moyo has absolutely great macro dive including the wonderpuss octopus as its most notable inhabitant. Satonda has a nice reef that is quite colorful. There's also a white sand slope where we can find some bommies with plenty to see like stonefish, pipefish, inimicus and pygmy seahorses among them. The island also has a marine lake and a colony of thousands of flying foxes that appear at night for an eerie show.

DAY 3

Banta: We will be targeting one of the most beautiful reefs in Indonesia: GPS. Expect good, manageble currents that bring in pelagic action. We can see grey reef sharks, barracudas, green and hawksbill turtles and the rare oceanic trigger fish. On the northwest corner Stairway to Heaven is a very healthy wall full of varied action. Mantas may pass by. K2 and Star Wars are nice alternatives as less demanding dives. They have nice reef with low current and big cuttlefish, leaf fish, Pegasus sea moths and green turtles.

It's a Small World is one of the best night dives of the trip. Ther is potential to see everything from hunting lionfish to bobbit worms, stonefish, stargazers and bobtail squid.

DAYS 4 AND 5

Horseshoe Bay in Rinca, the home to the famous Cannibal Rock, Yellow wall or torpedo Alley. It is difficult to describe Cannibal Rock; the waters will be colder than before and the visibility a bit less, but there is such an abundance of all kind of lifes that it will be stick in our memories for a long time: all kind of critters can be spotted here, giant frog fish or rinophias, white tips or turtles, resident unique nudies or blue octopus. Yellow wall, as its name indicates, is covered with soft corals, no place for our hands, the only way will be to find a spot and lean on the pointers. The lady bug, the sea apple, the fire urchins with coleman shrimps or zebra crabs are particularly easy to spot in this areas. Torpedo alley is another of the legendary night dives in Indonesia, apart from the rays there are frog fish, innumerable crabs, Bobbitt worm.

DAY 6

Langkoi: mantas, mantas and mantas and sometimes MolaMola at Manta Point.A great day!!! At night we find shelter and do a nice night dive in an easy wreck, look for the frog fish.

DAYS 7 AND 8

Exploratory dives around the south of Flores

DAY 9

Pulau Soangi-Lamalera. A small island outside Kawula. Soangi offers a dive full of adrenaline. A rocky bottom, often hit by the swells during the windy season, it is a very interesting dive. White tips and nurse sharks, schools of surgeon, snappers. Lamalera is a world heritage side. One of the few places in the world where they still hunt for whales in a traditional way. Extremly interesting to see it, to talk to its people, and who knows. The chance to experience in first hand such a tradition. The diving outside is very nice, for both an afternoon macro dive or a night dive. Orang-utan crabs, nudies, ribbon eels. Quite a show.

DAY 10

Pantar. Beangaban. The capital of the muck dive in this area. A fantastic spot!! Black sand and a coral reef create the perfect enviorment for the critter fans: rinophias, big or babies, frog fish, ribbon eels, coleman shrimps, dwarf and blue lion fish - a delight for our eyes and the lenses. The unlimited diving policy pays off well in such a site.

DAY 11

Pulau Pura. The wall south of the village is beautiful, fishy and healthy. In Pura is where we can get the children in the water, they are a friendly community. They love to interact. We visit the village and they visit us underwater, with their wooden goggles. In the afternoon, we have a chance to dive with mandarin fish and the night dive in front of the village is fantastic.

DAY 12

Gunung Api. Capital of the sea snakes in the world and another of the reasons to join the trip. This remote island has created the right shelter for the snakes; both olive and banded are found there in numbers never seen before. They are known to collaborate with jacks in a symbiotic alliance to hunt together, so far we have not witnessed such behaviour, but we keep on trying. Great vis, thousands of fish, nice walls and huge fans and barrel sponges are the attraction for those not so interested in snakes.

DAY 13

Lucipara. A series of atolls half way in the Banda Sea. Perfect visibility, healthy walls and the constant patrolling of tunas, mackerel, rainbow runners or wahoo make this, area very special.

DAY 14

Ambon. two great spots are attracting divers to this beautiful island: Laha and the Pertamina Wreck. The first one give us some of the best critters in Indonesia, among them the recently discover new species of Frog fish, rinophias, mimic octopus, zebra crabs. The wreck is a good alternative for those wanting a different dive, very fishy and nice soft corals.

DAY 15
