Diving in Indonesia
Indonesia sits in the Coral Triangle — the global epicentre of marine biodiversity. Raja Ampat in West Papua alone contains 75% of the world's known coral species and 1,500+ fish species. The country has more world-class dive sites than any other nation: Komodo's manta-filled currents, Tulamben's accessible wreck dive, Bunaken's near-vertical walls, the remote Banda Sea, and the turtle-frequented shallows of the Gili Islands.
Indonesia suits all skill levels. Beginners can learn in the warm, calm waters of the Gili Islands (PADI open water courses from approximately IDR 3,500,000 / USD 220). Advanced divers head to Raja Ampat or the Banda Sea on liveaboards. The diving season varies by region: Komodo is best April–November, Raja Ampat October–April, Bali year-round.
