Dive Overview
Halmahera is the largest of the Indonesian Maluku Islands. Being tropical, it is covered with lush forests that remain intact and unspoilt. All across the island, majestic volcanoes rise out of a calm sea fringed by pristine beaches of white sand. The surrounding coral reefs offer exceptional conditions for scuba diving, swimming, and snorkeling.

Halmahera Dive Overview
Scuba diving in Halmahera is not only exceptional but also extraordinarily varied: wrecks in Ternate, emerald waters and schools of fish in Tidore, vertiginous and pelagic walls in Bacan, drift dives in the Patinti Strait, not to mention beautiful coral gardens.
You can expect to see an abundance of small and medium reef life including barracudas, surgeonfishes, bumphead parrotfish, trevallies, giant trevallies, spadefish, Napoleon wrasse, tunas, bonitos, waow, manta rays, and mobula rays.

All this to a backdrop of black coral forests, gorgonian fields, soft corals, and so much more...
