Day 1
After a welcome briefing by the cruise director, our guests move into their cabins before departure. If possible a first dive will take place.

Days 2-10
We offer 3-4 divers daily, including a dusk or night dive if possible, around the sites of Triton Bay and Kai. During crossings, a maximum of 2 dives per day will take place.

Triton Bay, located at the Southeastern end of the ‘bird head’ of New Guinea, is considered a dive site of absolute world class with wonderful biodiversity. Unique soft coral gardens, huge forests of black coral and craggy rocks provide fantastic scenery both above and underwater.

East Banda is an infrequently visited but diverse tropical island landscape, where crystal clear waters, beautiful cliffs and endless gardens of table corals make every diver’s heart beat faster. At the strong current dive sites we encounter, for example, schools of barracudas and Napoleon fish of imposing size.

Day 11
Check-out and transfer to the airport.
