PANTAR STRAIT

This area is outstandingly beautiful with pristine reefs, vibrant coral and amazing diving. The volcanic topography, clear deep water and frequent current nurtures very healthy reef systems and clouds of colorful fish. In the deeper waters large pelagic species such as Dolphins, Whales, Sharks, Sunfish, Rays and Tuna are present.

 Although Alor is famous for current, some sites can be dived with calm conditions giving divers the chance to admire the coral and search for rare macro subjects such as Rhinopias Scorpionfish and Ghost Pipefish. Other sites offer chances of big fish in stronger currents.

​

Pinnacles, caves, walls, slopes and a jetty offer a wide range of dives. Highlights include Hammerhead and Thresher sharks, volcanic bubbling sand and the highest density of anemones in rhe world.

KALABAHI BAY

This huge bay about 15 KM long by 1 KM wide has deep water, mild currents and an amazing amount of marine life with incredible Macro and Muck diving found on the diverse dive sites. There are walls, slopes and a jetty with hard and soft coral as well as black sand and muck sites. Feather Stars and Fire Urchins crowd some areas in unbelievable numbers. Frogfish, Mandarinfish, many species of Pipefish, Seahorses, Rhinopias,  Wonderpus, Blue Ring Octopus, Nudibranchs and Harliquin Shrimp are all present.

Night Diving

Alor has spectacular night dives which give the opportunity to see many kinds of octopus, squid, cuttlefish, crabs, shrimps, basket stars and bobbit worms that only appear at night. Other animals such as frogfish, ghost pipefish, scorpionfish, lionfish, eels and nudibranchs become more active or are much easier to spot by torch light.  Dive sites with colorful sponges and soft coral become much more vivid and colorful as torch light reveals their true color.
