Lembeh — Halmahera — Banda Sea

An expedition route crossing a quarter of Indonesia from west to east — from Lembeh Strait through the western coast of Halmahera to the Banda Neira Islands. This is one of the longest dive safaris in Indonesian waters, combining three completely different underwater worlds in a single trip. Starting at Bitung port: the first days are devoted to world-class macro diving in Lembeh Strait — mimic octopuses, hairy frogfish, bobtail squid on black volcanic sand. Then the route follows the western coast of Halmahera, where macro sites alternate with reefs rich in pelagic fish. Crossing the Molucca Sea with stops at small islands, the expedition reaches Banda Neira — volcanic islands with sheer walls, caves, and exceptional visibility. Finish in Ambon.
