Gunung Api Lava Flow Dive Site — Banda Sea
About Gunung Api Lava Flow
Dive over the underwater lava flow from Banda Api's dramatic 1988 eruption, where the reef has regenerated spectacularly. Pristine hard corals have colonized the black lava formations, creating a surreal landscape that is a testament to nature's resilience. The shallow reef is teeming with anthias, butterflyfish, and surgeonfish — perfect for both snorkelers and beginner divers.
