Lelei

Lelei is a coastal village in North Maluku, Indonesia, facing the Molukka Sea on the eastern fringe of the Indonesian archipelago. The area is more of a gateway point for divers exploring the Molukka Sea than a major dive hub itself. With a handful of local dive sites nearby and a few international operators typically based in larger nearby towns, accessing diving usually involves short boat trips or land transfers to more developed centers along the Molukka coast. Conditions can be warm and tropical, with typical Indo-Pacific visibility and marine life common to the region. Given limited local infrastructure, most divers plan trips from bigger hubs in North Maluku or Sulawesi and use Lelei as a gateway to reach nearby sites.
