When you go looking for the Hammerheads at 35m are you on nitrox or do you switch to air for these dives?

I'll let you know. If I forget please remind me. We made a trip from sorong to kaimana with them in 2017 and were very satisfied. We didn't want any surprises and thought the service was very good for the price so we chose them again.

Is anyone on the mv ambai from ambon to alor? 29.9-10.10.

Thank you for all the answer. As I don't have a 5mm or layers I'll take the 3mm and the 7mm just to be on the safe side.

Hello all, we are doing a liveaboard from Ambon to Alor in early October. According to the tour operator the water should be 26-28°C in Ambon an Banda Sea. But it will be 2-5°C colder in Alor, where we spend 2 days. We plan on bringing our 3mm wetsuit and dive with that in Alor as well...

We stayed at nabucco resort in november. Little to no rain and calm sea. They go to the channel whenever possible which is a really good spot. We even saw a hammerhead there. Schooling barracudas each time. If you can choose then go when the incoming tide is generally in the morning.

Thanks for your Inputs! We will look for a nice spot in Bali

Hi, as we only have 2 nights before the flight home, diving is not an option. I reckoned it would take much longer to get our of Denpasar to rural bali, away from the masstourism.

Hi all! We are planning to do a LOB crossing from Ambon to Alor in the first two weeks of october 2019. Do you think it's too early for a good chance to see the hammerhead-schools? Or is it the best time because the sea is still colder? Any experience on whale sightings in this time? Second...

Hello! Me and a friend want to do some diving at the end of January. We will do some trekking in Sabah and are looking for a place to relax/dive/snorkel (app. 5 days). He's not a diver. It's not the time for the east-coast of Malayasian-mainland due to the weather. And most resorts arround...

Thank you Pillpusher for sharing your information! I got the same impression, when searching the web.

Thx for all your inputs. October doesn't work for us, but we'll see. @frogfone: Thank you for the details. If we go in May, we will let the hammerheads come to us and not search for them in the blue :)

Hello everyone! Has anyone been to the Banda Sea in may? I saw a lot of great fotos/videos including schools of hammerheads, but they were all from trips in September/October. The trip I'm thinking about would be from Ambon to Maumere at the end of April to early May. Thanks a lot for every...

Hello, can anyone give a detailed review about this LOB? I only find short comments that it was great, but not more. A lot of people who say, they booked a trip in the future, but no detailed comments yet. Would be really helpfull. Thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks for your answer. That's what i reckoned . Has anyone taken a flight from Kaimana to Jakarta (HLP)? The flight i bought lands in Ambon at 1200 and leaves for HLP at 1225. I'm worried if we will be able to catch the flight. It's IW 1503 to Ambon and ID 7770 to HLP. I thougt if Lion Air...

Are there any safety concerns in Sorong apart from the usual awareness of pickpocketing, like everywhere?

Thanks to everyone for their input! We decided to fly to Yogyakarta for some culture and relaxation.

Hello! We are going on a LOB for 11 days in West Papua from Sorong to Kaimana in March. As we got 3 weeks holiday, we don't know yet what to do with the remaining 6 days? It doesn't need to be diving, because I reckon 33 dives is enough in 11 days. But maybe raja ampat is different. :) Do you...
