Alor is a place for incredible surprises! Mola mola (sunfish), thresher shark, hammerhead shark, whale and marlin have been seen many times. Napoleons, giant trevally, reef shark, turtles, barracudas, eagle rays, giant grouper, and more are usual encounter. And that’s not all. These preserved reefs have a lot more to offer, from intact coral slopes and walls to scenic rock formation. Alor will enchant everyone.
In south Pantar the water is generally colder, the reef coverage is mainly soft coral, fish life is amazing and an unbelievable variety of nudibranchs can be found. More north, the walls around Ternate offer beautiful underwater scenery, including caves and multiple overhangs. Divers are often gently drifting, surrounded by schools of fusilier, sergeant and tuna. There are more than 20 word-class dive locations and if you are keen on doing some exploratory dives, we are always excited to organize them.
