Serua Island Dive Site — Banda Sea
About Serua Island
One of the Banda Sea's premier hammerhead sites, where deep walls and seamounts around this remote volcanic island attract large schools of scalloped hammerheads during peak season. The island rises dramatically from the deep ocean floor, creating powerful upwellings that concentrate nutrients and attract pelagic life. Advanced divers willing to make the journey are rewarded with some of Indonesia's most thrilling shark encounters.
