Saltwater
Arafura Sea
The Arafura Sea is a relatively shallow body of water located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, situated between Australia and New Guinea. It is characterized by warm, tropical waters but is not particularly known for scuba diving due to a lack of significant dive sites or notable underwater ecosystems. The sea features diverse marine environments, but many areas are uncharted or lack the infrastructure for diving. Visibility and conditions can vary widely, and potential divers should be aware of the limited diving facilities in the region.
