Diving For Life

Discover exciting diving in the Spice Islands of Indonesia!

The Spice Islands of Indonesia's Banda Sea shelter pristine reefs along with hammerhead hot spots. We've scheduled our exploration for the peak of hammerhead season. Expect three deeper dives each day, with the possibility of a night dive if the ship is not underway.

Departing from Ambon on October 26, Amaya Explorer is a beautiful Indonesian wooden phinisi, and our charter is limited to just 16 guests. Read more about this unique destination and vessel in the Jakarta Post.

Fully escorted by your host Christine Simon, you can extend your vacation in Asia and experience both the macro and muck diving Ambon is known for as well as the chance of large pelagics (and a spooky sea snake island) in the Banda Sea.

This exclusive departure to an exciting destination is certain to sell out quickly,
so reserve your cabin by e-mailing or calling us today.
