During an over lunch sail we will arrive at a calm bay for a late afternoon check dive and a night dive before setting sail to discover more of the wonders of North Maluku!

Day 2 - 8 : Diving in Halmahera
Throughout our sail through the islands surrounding Halmahera we will endeavour to both explore new spots and revisit the most memorable and well- known dive locations in the area. Depending on conditions and your needs our voyage will aim to cover all of the main islands and exciting spots. The most important information for this section of this cruise is that the itinerary is completely open for discussion. We aim to provide the best and most complete trip possible and Halmahera is so vast and unexplored that we can always adjust to the group’s needs. Therefore, the order in which we visit each location will vary on every trip.

This large area is grouped into smaller island chains which provide unique and wonderful diving experiences for multiple days.
