Day 1:
Once on board, there will be a safety briefing, crew introduction, completion and checking of dive paperwork, cabin allocation, and boat orientation. The first dive is a check dive.

Days 2-9: 2-3 dives per day
On the Alor trip, diving takes you to another dimension, and anything can be expected as the ever-present currents bring incredible fish action with a world-class array of marine life from big to small.

Your day might start by diving at a cleaning station frequented by mola mola and thresher sharks, continue on a seamount surrounded by trevallies and barracuda tornadoes, and end with an incredible night dive trying to spot the elusive Rhinopias. Sightings of whales and pods of dolphins are frequent, and there will be plentiful encounters with sharks in a region that continually amazes.

But it is not only the marine life that entertains. You could meet freediving local children—who use goggles that are handmade with wood and glass bottles—see spectacular landscapes, and explore villages that have kept strong their culture and traditional way of life. The diving is amazing, but a trip here is about more than that. It is a life experience that will leave unforgettable memories. 

Day 10:
On the last diving day, 2 dives are available in the morning while observing the rule of no diving within 24 hours of reaching altitude. We return to port and moor overnight. Evening is the time to pack up diving equipment and settle any outstanding bills, ready to depart the following morning.

Day 11:
Check-out takes place after breakfast, followed by transfer to the airport.
