Spanning an area of 1, 904, 569 square kilometres it is made up of over seventeen thousand island including Sulawesi, Java, Sumatra as well as parts of Borneo and Papua New Guinea to name just a few!

Jakarta is the Capital city and often the travel gateway however not always, it is well known that it can be a trek to get to some of these far-flung Indonesian islands but let us assure you it is more than worth it!

Indonesia is a diving destination that has so much variety on offer, located in the middle of the “Coral Triangle” your diving adventure will include beautiful wall dives, healthy coral reefs, breath-taking micro diving as well as adrenalin fuelled pelagic action. In our opinion a destination that has more marine diversity than anywhere else on earth.

Some of the top places to visit and dive in this magnificent archipelago are Bunaken Marine Park, Sulawesi, Lembeh Straits, Sulawesi, Raja Ampat, West Papau, Ambon, Maluku, Wakatobi, Sulawesi, Alor, Lesser Sunda, Komodo National Park, Flores and Lembongan, Bali!

Transfer Information	When you land in Indonesia you will have someone waiting for you to take you to your liveaboard or hotel.
Dive Season	You can dive in Indonesia at any time of the year. Generally speaking for such a vast country, April to December are the best times to go since rainy season is more or less between the months of January and March. That said many places, such as Sulawesi, have excellent conditions at this time so be sure to check the diving season details for your particular destination of choice. The Indonesia liveaboard safari season is all year round.
