Selamon

Selamon is a coastal locale in eastern Indonesia near the Banda Sea, within Maluku’s archipelago. It acts more as a gateway point for regional diving than a major local dive center; there are no listed dive centers in-town, and divers typically access nearby sites via boat from larger hubs in the Maluku region. The Banda Sea and adjacent waters offer a variety of potential dive opportunities such as wall drops, coral reefs, and pelagic sightings farther offshore, but specific site details aren’t tied to this city itself. For practical planning, consider nearby ports or established centers in Maluku for guided dives, equipment rental, and courses, and treat Selamon as a waypoint for access rather than a dive destination per se.
