DAY 1: AMBON We will pick you up at the airport or your hotel and welcome you on board with drinks. After the safety and boat briefings, we will show you to your cabin and let you settle down and unpack. After lunch, and some rest time, we will proceed with an extended dive briefing and have our first dive. On this 1st day, we will do an afternoon check dive and a sunset/night dive in Laha. This area is renowned for muck diving and the range of critters that can be found. We will start motoring to our next spot after dinner. DAY 2: NUSA LAUT 3 dives on the reef and walls of Nusa Laut. If we're lucky, we might spot some hammerhead sharks. We will start motoring to our next spot before sunset. Day 3: PULAU SUANGGI and BANDA NEIRA (3 dives) We arrive at Pulau Suanggi in the morning for two dives. The deep pinnacles here form an oasis for pelagic fish and boast incredible coral reefs. Expect to see tuna, moray eels, and schools of vibrantly colored fish, with the main attraction being the hammerhead sharks that frequently pass through. After these dives, we'll head to Banda Neira for a quick shore excursion to visit Fort Belgica, the Museum, and a Nutmeg plantation. These islands, fought over by the Dutch, British, and Portuguese 400 years ago, played a pivotal role in the spice trade. We'll wrap up the day with one more dive at around 5pm to spot the elusive Mandarin Fish, DAY 4: BANDA NIERA/BANDA BESAR/RUN 3 dives around the islands of the Banda archipelago and start motoring to our next spot.
