Straddling the equator, Indonesia is an extremely vast and diverse archipelago that stretches for more than 5,000 kilometers and contains more the 17,000 magnificent islands, most of which are uninhabited. From towering volcanoes flowing with lava to massive deepwater oceanic trenches flowing with nutrient rich plankton the island paradise of Indonesia is one of the most geographically and biologically diverse places left on planet earth, both above and below the water. It is this incredible bio-diversity that has established Komodo, Sulawesi - Bunaken, Raja Ampat, and Bali as world class diving destinations that should not be missed by any serious diver or underwater photographer.
Indonesia's Best Diving | How to Dive Indonesia | When to Dive Indonesia
So what is it that makes this area of the planet so special? Indonesia sits on the western edge of the Pacific Rim, in a seismically active area known as the "Ring of Fire. It is here under the sea that several of the earth's tectonic plates collide and create unparalleled seismic activity, pressure, and heat. It is also at the center of the archipelago, where Asia and Australia meet, that the depths of the Indian and Pacific Oceans' converge to form a series of unique and isolated bodies of water. This rich environment of warm equatorial currents, nutrient-rich upwellings, and a tropical climate have all played a significant role in making Indonesia a virtual and literal hot bed of marine bio-diversity.
Bio diversity is the ultimate indicator of environmental health: The higher the number of species living together, the healthier the community becomes because it is able to withstand and rebound from the forces of nature such as rising water temperatures, earthquakes, floods, and man made factors. Indonesia is home to over a quarter of the fish species found on earth and provides more coral coverage than Australia's great barrier reef. This area has been scientifically proven to be the most biologically diverse marine habitat on the planet and offers something special for even the most intrepid of scuba diving enthusiasts, as well as those who want to dive for the first time.
Dive Adventures Asia offers a broad range of the best value Indonesia diving options to the premier dive destinations throughout the entire Indonesia archipelago. Although many of the best dive sites are only accessible by Indonesia Liveaboard, there are also incredible Indonesia Dive Resorts to choose from.
