The phase of the moon and ensuing currents also factor highly in dive site selection. Lots or little experience, Aruna Fleet will ensure we provide dives to suit all levels and ensure all have a brilliant dive holiday. Therefore, the actual itinerary is at our Cruise Director’s discretion. • Sea condition is a BIG factor in the Banda Sea, both sailing & diving. • Depth is also a big factor & needs to be maintained in disciplined approach. Divers need to adhere to limits understanding that the location is remote & very far to emergency medical & recompression facilities.
