Damai II Itinerary

Alor (ARD)

Guests will arrive in Kalabahi and have time to get comfortable on the boat. As soon as possible, we will get down to "business": a muck dive in the bay.

No. of Dives: 1

Beautiful rocky formation and abundant life around the patches between the walls. We do see timid Mola Molas on the surface and and schooling dolphins hang in the near open waters. On the south-east of Pantar, Beangabang Bay has one of the top night dives in the country: the chance to hunt for octopus, ghost pipefish, unusual shrimp, Bobbitt worms colourful nudibranchs and lots of juvenile fish.

Beautiful walls of macro and wide-angle subjects. Clean walls, abundant life and the always cooperative smile of the local community, especially the children who would like to be your underwater model.

This is a collection of 3 small islands in the middle of the cold water currents that flow between the islands of Kawula and Pantar. Spectacular rock formation, totally covered with corals, hard and soft, crinoids, and anemones. Almost impossible to find any space. In the shallow clouds of red anthias, deeper large snappers, sweetlips, giant groupers, and passing sharks. As pure as it gets.

Going in between the rocky bottom, slow and eyes open for Nudibranchs, small shrimps, soft coral crabs and other critters living and feeding along them. In between dives we will head towards the open, and maybe if we are lucky a blue whale can pay us a visit.

Soangi is a small island well expose to the swells; its coral reefs are habitat of abundant life and whitetip sharks patrol in search of opportunities On the West coast of Lembata, amongst towering volcanoes, we arrive at Wai Wawong. This is excellent muck diving with a chance of seeing the elusive Rhinopias, Finger Dragonets, Ghost pipefish, and maybe even hairy frogfish.

In the north of Kawula island, tanjung Bacatan is a classic. Deep slope that gently gives way to a wall; passing Tunas, Wahoo and other pelagic fish are expected to be spotted. After two dives we sail towards the volcano of Komba, active until very recently and always a beautiful sight. We will look for whales on our way.

Another day dedicated to pure muck diving in the Kalabahi bay where we can look for wondrous Rhinopias, Ghost pipefish, and seahorses: underwater macro heaven.
