Scuba

Pantar Island, part of the Alor archipelago, is known for its exhilarating current-swept wall dives. The Pantar Strait can have some of the strongest currents in Indonesia, which brings in nutrient-rich water and a huge amount of pelagic life.

Features

The Pantar Strait is a deep channel with very strong currents. Dives here are thrilling drifts along deep walls, with a high chance of seeing sharks, tuna, and sometimes even mola mola or whales in the right season.
