Muck-Tauchgang im schwarzen Vulkansand mit außergewöhnlichem Kleintierleben. Wunderpus, Mimik-Oktopusse, Anglerfische und behaarte Garnelen werden regelmäßig an diesem Weltklasse-Muck-Tauchplatz gesichtet. Nachttauchgänge hier sind legendär und enthüllen im dunklen vulkanischen Substrat Zwergtintenfische, Himmelsgucker und den schwer fassbaren Ambon-Skorpionfisch.

Site Information

  • Depth: 8–30 m
  • Difficulty: intermediate

  • Current: Currents are a natural and consistent feature of diving in Alor, influenced by strong tidal movements in the Pantar Strait. While conditions can vary, stronger currents around the new and full moon introduce more dynamic drift dives and increase the chances of encountering larger pelagic species. Dives here are often suitable for experienced divers who appreciate current-rich environments.
