Expeditions

 
 
 

On our expeditions we go to places its impossible or to expensive to go as a traveller, we try to find new operation waters, for diving, surfing or cruising in the most remote areas. If you join one of our expeditions you have a little bit of adventure in you, this trips are not schedule charters but more like real adventure travelling. We will spend long time at sea, far from the comfort of the modern world.
In exchange we will visit places few travellers done before, dive the wildest waters and meet people that still living isolated from the rest of the world.

Itinery

Sulawesi - Alor - Komodo - Bali

Week 1
Starting in Bira South Sulawesi,
We will start with some diving around Bira with some check dives, our final dive before leaving is the cape a deep wall dive that’s often affected of strong currents so it will be done as a drift dive.
The cape in its prime is a true world class dive, here we often spots big numbers of white tip sharks, mantas, mobulas, eagle rays, tuna and giant groupers this is also where se have good chance of seeing hammerheads and even sunfish.
After Bira we sail east, a days sailing and we come to Wakatobi. This is a famous dive destination for the filthy rich the only dive center around is Wakatobi divers with some of the highest bungalow prices is Asia.
The diving around Wakatobi has rich coral gardens with rich macro like pygmy sea horses and mandarin fish. Wakatobi have numerous of known dive sights but the most of the areas is still unexplored we will go to the outer rims and see what we can find.


Week 2
Open sea passage, 2 days at sea with no land and we arrive at Alor, There is some great dive sights around Alor like Cals dream as number one. This dive sight is legendary since Cal Muller rated it as the best dive in Indonesia in the dive Indonesia guide.
We also take a couple of days in the waters south of Alor doing some whale safari.
This is the whale richest water on the planet and it’s possible to see everything from blue whales, sperm whales and orcas to dolphins in big numbers.
Whale watching is a time consuming activity and we will have to test our passion to make this successful.

Week 3
Komodo
This is some of our home waters, here we sill mix diving with trekking the hills of Komodo and Rinca looking for the infamous komodo dragons. The diving in Komodo is breath taking. We find compact coral gardens with intense macro variations and big pelagics like giant travelly, dogtooth tuna, sharks and mantas.
8-knot currents rave true the straight of komodo witch make the diving very interesting but with good planning the current helps us getting more out of every dive. It's a magic felling hiding behind ”batu bolong” and seeing the wild current bringing sharks and mantas pass you just a couple of meters from you’re face.
Komodo have over a hundred mapped dive sights but we will focus on the best once like Batu bolong (hollow stone), cannibal rock, manta alley and crystal boomie.


Week 4
Leaving komodo behind we head for Sangean a huge volcanic mountain island with a harsh north shore with black lava beaches.Under water the rough coast turns into a psycadelic coral world with some of the most intense underwater colors I’ve seen, the final is the volcanic black sand bottom on the safety stop that lets gas threw, turning the sea to champagne! Next stop is Moyo, we make a refreshing land tour to the waterfalls, and dive Hajis reef, Satonda and Pelagic magic on Medang.
Our final destination is Gili Trawangan north of Lombok where we do some diving for the mortals and getting a well deserved sailor’s night out in the bars of Trawangan.
