Dive Equipment & Setup
Dive Area & Sites
Alor, located in the Lesser Sunda Islands of eastern Indonesia, is one of the country's best-kept diving secrets, offering uncrowded reefs and a fascinating mix of big and small marine life. The volcanic underwater landscape features dramatic walls, steep slopes, and black sand muck diving sites teeming with rare critters. Divers regularly encounter hammerhead sharks, thresher sharks, and large schools of mobula rays in the nutrient-rich currents. The macro life is exceptional — flamboyant cuttlefish, wonderpus octopus, rhinopias, and a remarkable variety of nudibranchs inhabit the volcanic sand slopes. Traditional fishing villages dot the coastline, and the relative remoteness of Alor means that reef systems remain pristine and largely untouched by mass tourism.

Insurance Recommendation
We strongly recommend all guests to purchase comprehensive dive accident insurance and trip cancellation insurance before departure. Dive accident insurance covers medical treatment, hyperbaric chamber costs, and emergency evacuation in the event of a diving incident. Trip cancellation insurance protects your financial investment — not only if you need to cancel or cut short your trip due to personal illness, injury, or other unforeseen circumstances, but also if the trip is postponed or cancelled by the operator due to severe weather, technical issues, or other operational reasons. In the unlikely event of operator insolvency, cancellation insurance can also help recover your payments. Please ensure your policies are valid for the entire duration of your trip and cover the planned activities.
