About Spice Island Divers
About Spice Island Divers
Spice Island Divers occupies one of the most sought after positions in Ambon Bay – a secluded spot right next to the world famous "Twilight Zone" dive site. Understandably, the resort was purpose built with all the needs of divers in mind, making it a great spot for dedicated underwater explorers who value intimate, crowd-free experiences. The resort is also positioned just ten minutes by car from Ambon airport, with direct connections from Jakarta and Sorong, allowing divers to combine a visit with other diving areas in Indonesia, most notably Raja Ampat. Whilst staying at Spice Island Divers, guests are accommodated in a choice of six detached seafront villas or a block of five garden rooms. All options are simple, clean and spacious, featuring ensuite bathrooms and either private or shared verandahs.
Explore the resort
Spice Island Divers prepare delicious fresh meals and snacks using only the highest, quality locally sourced ingredients. Overlooking the ocean, the resort’s onsite restaurant creates menus that showcases some of the tastiest dishes in Maluku and elsewhere in Indonesia, while also incorporating popular international meals for those who are missing the flavours of home. In the restaurant areas, guests will also find a bar serving refreshing soft drinks, juices and alcoholic beverages, as well as a lounging space furnished with comfortable chairs.
There is nothing better than relaxing after a full day of diving, and Spice island Divers is the ideal place to do just that. Seafront lounge chairs are great for soaking up every last ray of sunshine, while the oceanfront spa area provides the perfect space for a revitalising massage set to the sound of gently lapping waves.
Diving from Spice Island Divers
As the name suggests, Spice Island Divers is geared up specifically for scuba diving enthusiasts and snorkellers. To help discerning divers maximise their stay here, all diving packages at this resort include unlimited, unguided shore diving during the day and complimentary nitrox fills. Guests wishing to push the experience further can also opt for standard night diving, or specialist services such as bonfire and blackwater night diving, at an additional cost.
Full sets of equipment can be rented from this resort, including dive computers, and a selection of PADI dive certifications can also be undertaken. Dive groups are limited to a maximum of four divers per dive-guide, but even smaller groups can be arranged on request. Finally, underwater photographers will find Spice Island Divers set up with everything needed to capture incredible images, including a dedicated camera room complete with individual work stations.
