Gone with the Wind is a long sweeping drift dive that lives up to its name whereas Cheeky Beach is named after the local children who like to spy on divers in the shallows. Magic Pier will not disappoint while Wanji Sea Mount is dripping in lush soft corals.

The Banda Sea is a divers playground. The reefs benefit from a glut of nutrients that are pushed through the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The opulent coral reefs that spring up to feast on this are home to some of the most wonderful and exclusive marine critters you will find. Whilst black and white tip sharks are the largest predators, turtles and rays compete for the top spots. Sea snakes and blue ribbon eels slink along the reef whereas the eagle eyed will find spotted garden eels and napoleon snake eels. Lion fish, pipefish, cornets and triggers are the middleweights and hiding behind them are frogfish, scorpion fish, pygmy seahorses, mantis shrimp… and of course nudibranchs in every shape and colour. Even on the occasional muck dive, there is no lack of life underwater to marvel at.
