Programme

Day 1: Kalabahi

Our representative will wait for you at the arrival hall and ready to escort you to the ship for immediate boarding. Safety Briefing, Safety DVD, Crew Introduction, Necessary Dive Paperwork, Cabin allocation and ship orientation will take place before departing from Kalabahi Harbor. 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.
Meals : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Dive: 4 times – 5mm wetsuit is recommended, Temp 22-25 degrees centigrade.

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.

Day 6: Kawula

This will be a fantastic day of muck diving for critters. Expect to see nudibranchs, ghost pipefish, frog fish and all the amazing critters rolled into one dive!

Day 7: Maumere

Prepare for disembarkation. You will be transferred to Maumere airport for your next destination
