Dive Damai - Alor

MSY Damai

The Damai's Alor itinerary allows the adventurous diver to explore the islands of the very remote Alor Archipelago - surrounded by the bluest water with easily accessible pristine reefs, drop-offs, caves and valleys that are teeming with healthy corals that span the color spectrum and create the perfect environment for underwater exploration!  With marine life ranging from box crabs to Pilot Whales and nearly everything in between, it would be difficult for a diver to not be impressed and amazed.

The currents that flow through the straits which connect the Banda and Savu seas create thrilling drift dives that attract large animals such as whales, tuna, sharks (including hammerheads), giant groupers, eagle and manta rays, napoleon wrasse, schools of big eye jacks, mola-mola and other pelagic fish.  In the Pantar Strait between Alor and Pantar islands, pilot whales and dolphins are common as they pass between the island during their season migration to the Pacific Ocean.

On the quiet, tranquil reefs that surround the islands, literally hundreds of species of fish play hide and seek in the colorful soft and hard corals - offering divers a visual thrill.

The islands are volcanic in nature.  The sand and rubble areas create the perfect environment for black sand diving allowing divers and underwater photographers fabulous opportunity to view and capture (on a memory stick) the most interesting critters.

Cruising topside is equally as exciting!  The picturesque islands are rugged and dominated by jagged mountains and steep valleys.  You will be introduced to local culture in trips ashore.  The local villages are steeped in tradition and very authentic.  These visits to shore allow opportunities to purchase the best ikat weaving in Indonesia. 

This is one of the most unknown and untraveled areas of Indonesia.  Be one of the first to enjoy it!
