This is a limited offer to the Banda Sea, a sanctuary for hammerhead sharks. We'll aim to spot large groups of hammerheads in an unknown ocean that's surrounded by big islands. The cruise departs from and returns to Ambon, a treasure trove of macrolife. You'll enjoy pristine coral reefs and dive sites with impressive underwater topography such as dropoffs. Make sure you book early as this cruise is limited to October only!
This is a special cruise of the Banda Sea, an unknown ocean that's surrounded by six big islands in the western Pacific. The cruise is only available in October, so it's a special trip that gets booked up from an early stage. We'll dive on a schedule of 7 nights and 8 days (23-25 dives planned),departing from and returning to Ambon, home to plenty of macrolife. As well as aiming to see groups of hammerhead sharks, you'll enjoy pristine coral reefs and dive sites with impressive underwater topography such as dropoffs that are over 4,000m deep.
The Banda Sea has huge differences in elevation (sea level?) and good water flow. It's famous as an area where hammerhead sharks gather. We'll ride a cold current of around 25℃ and wait for the hammerheads to appear. When there are many, you can sometimes encounter a hammerhead river - a group of several hundred (dive sites may change depending on ocean conditions).
