Lonthoir
Lonthoir is a coastal town in Maluku, Indonesia, located on the Banda Sea side of the Indonesian archipelago. With around a dozen dive sites nearby, the area offers accessible shore and boat diving through local operators. The Banda Sea region is known for warm tropical waters, generally calm conditions, and marine life typical to eastern Indonesian reefs. The town itself is small and development-focused on fishing and regional transport, so diving access comes via nearby coastal spots and a handful of centers operating in larger nearby ports. If you’re planning a trip, expect straightforward logistics, and consider day trips to multiple reef sites to maximize your diving opportunities in this part of the Banda Sea.
