We will begin this amazing journey in Saumlaki, Maluku provin- ce. First night we will sail to Dawera Island where we can visit a small but very self-sustainable village.
They have solar power panels and a generator. There is a school and a doctor’s office and is full of overly friendly people to welcome you and show you around the village where the streets even have names.
They have a good understanding of self-sustainability therefor are very protective and regulate their fish population. They have shown us 2 amazing underwater pinnacles booming with fish life.
In the heart of Banda Sea lies Nil Desperandum, an underwa- ter seamount rising from the depths to about 3 meters below the surface. Besides the unspoiled coral encounters with the bigger pelagic tuna, rainbow runners, spanish mackerel.

Manuk is an active volcano with many seabirds and sea snakes. Hundreds of sea snakes will accompany you on this dive while you enjoy the lava ridges covered in coral. Keep your eyes open for big pelagic.
Crystal clear waters, bottomless dropoffs, colorful coral pinna- cles and so much more.
Manuk is another active volcano with many seabirds and sea snakes, very similar to Gunung Api only a little smaller. Hundreds of sea snakes will accompany you on this dive while you enjoy the lava ridges covered in coral. Keep your eyes open for big pelagic.
The Banda Sea is spectacular as it is very remote due to its locations and possibility of rougher seas.
