Diving in Indonesia

diving in indonesia

Situated at the heart of the Coral Triangle – the Indonesian Archipelago forms the world’s longest island chain, stretching all the way from Northern Malaysia to Papua New Guinea, just up from Central Australia.

Fed by deep oceanic upwellings and currents, the 17.500 islands are among the world’s top destinations for diving with the greatest marine biodiversity on earth – from tiny Pygmy Seahorses to gigantic Oceanic Mantas and Whale sharks, lush coral reefs to critter-filled sandy bays.

Raja Ampat, Komodo, Wakatobi, the amazing Ambon – mythical names for divers and snorkelers alike.

Diving in Indonesia from land based operations is extremely limiting, with the numerous dive sites spread out across the ocean, spotty transport routes, and spartan land-based accommodations, El Aleph offers the chance to explore diving in Indonesia in style, aboard your own luxury yacht.

With a cumulative 30 years of experience in diving in Indonesia, our team knows the very best dive spots. We can accommodate every level of diver – from novices out to discover the wonders of the underwater world to hard-core technical divers. Dive sites vary from relaxing sheltered coves alive with a riot of wildly coloured tropical fish to the challenge of diving the roaring currents of Batu Bolong or Alor at full moon.
