Maluku

Maluku in eastern Indonesia offers a rich mix of saltwater diving in the Ceram Sea within the Indian Ocean. The region features a scattering of reefs, walls, and offshore bommies across numerous dive sites, with many accessible by boat from regional hubs. Expect warm tropical waters, moderate to good visibility, and diverse reef communities that host small schooling fish, nudibranchs, and turtles. Inland and island-hugging exposures around Central Maluku and other districts provide varied access points for both drift and shore-based dives; this region suits divers looking for underwater biodiversity and a more relaxed, less crowded diving scene. With several dive sites spread across its archipelago, Maluku offers a broad range of conditions and habitats without being dominated by a single standout site.
