Beang Abang Dive Site — Alor
About Beang Abang
Zwarte vulkanische zand 'muck dive' met uitzonderlijk klein onderwaterleven. Wonderpus, mimic octopus, frogfish en harige garnalen worden regelmatig gespot op deze muck-site van wereldklasse. Nachtduiken hier zijn legendarisch en onthullen bobtail inktvissen, sterrenkijkers en de ongrijpbare Ambon schorpioenvis in het donkere vulkanische substraat.
Site Information

- 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.
