Day 1: Kalabahi
Our representative will wait for you at the arrival hall and ready to escort you to the ship for immediate boarding.

During the journey to our first dive site take this opportunity to familiarize yourselves with the vessel and make yourself at home.
Day 2: Pura North
Unbelievable amounts of rare nudibranchs fight for space on the rock with the thousands of multi colored feather stars and unusual sea apples that hide juvenile painted frogfish and ghost pipefish. Adult frogfish swim around the rock that hosts such surprises as Coleman Shrimp, Zebra crabs, Rhinopias, hawksbill turtles, blue ringed octopus and Torpedo Rays.

Day 3 : Calling the Dugong
Welcome to dugong site, the place where you can see the dugong. Sometime the dugong may be busy and doesn't show up. But we will try to call the dugong and let you introduce yourself to him. Good luck, a site not to be missed!
Day 4: Reta
The pinnacles of Reta will amaze you with the amazingly healthy reefs and usually clear waters. Stunning coral growth with fish life surrounding, day five will be a real treat!
Day 5: Alor Strait
The famed Alor Strait is another landmark on the Indonesian diving map. Sitting dramatically in the strait between the two large islands of Pantar to the west and Alor to the east are three small volcanoes that have long been extinct.
Our first stop will be in the area of Biana Bang. Because of the black sand and nearby hot springs jetting out into the sea, this area is full of all the Indonesian marine life you ever wanted to see. It is quite normal to see two of the mystic Rhinopias on one dive at this site. A fantastic introduction to this stunning region.
