Scuba Diving Tours and Scuba Dive Vacations

 THE BANDA SEA

Indonesia Scuba Diving at its finest

Very few places in the world have such historical and cultural significance as the Spice Islands in the Banda Sea. Live aboards cruising this region of Indonesia will experience this exquisite culture coupled with outstanding scuba diving. Banda Sea cruises should not only be about the underwater experience. To focus solely on the scuba diving in the Banda Sea would effectively curtail half the delights this spectacular destination has to offer. As an area that has remained untouched for many decades, the Banda Sea has scenery which is also striking. The imposing 600 metre volcano Gunung Api creates fantastic back drop for sunrise and sunset views. Without doubt this region has every ingredient necessary to create a voyage of discovery, through exploration or diving. Banda Sea Live-boards, and especially the Adventurer II cruises, will live long in the memory.
