Day 2:
Suanggi Island.
Suanggi island is located 20 km northwest of Banda Neira. The boat will only go when the conditions are right. Currents can be strong yet we will be rewarded with dozens of fish and large predators such as hammerheads & tresher sharks.
Day 3:
Banda Neira.
In a remote location surrounded by the deep sea, the waters around Banda are extremely clear. Visibilities of 30m are common and on some days it can reach up to 50m+. Coral reefs are breathtaking and the sight is beyond impeccable. Banda is the home of the largest napoleon wrasse population in Indonesia, you can almost see them in every dive. Possible dive sites: Run island, Nailaka island, Karang Hatta & Banda Jetty. We will also visit the historical site of Banda Neira, home of the Belgica Fort.

Another less touristy island in the middle of the Banda Sea. The reefs are overloaded with schooling fish and another good site to spot large tunas, jackfish, and rays.

Day 5:
Manuk Island/Gunung Api.
Manuk is located in south Banda. The island is truly unique and famous around the world due to its incredibly large population of sea snakes. Most commonly seen are the banded sea krait and the rarest of them all is the Chinese sea snake with its signature streak of brown and green.

Batu Kapal, Hatta Island.
On day 6 we will have 4 dives on Hatta Island and Batu Kapal. An interesting dive site because we have the chance to see a big pelagic zone. The area is covered with schooling trevally, barracuda, tuna, white and black tip sharks, and many more all around Hatta Island. Batu Kapal
is full of orange gorgonians. Lots of barrel sponges used by giant honeycomb moray eels and loads of red-tooth triggerfish around.
