Another excellent diving destination in Indonesia in September is Banda Sea.

I’ll be there with 7 other buddies on that same boat on 14-22 September 2025. Have dove in Banda Sea 3 times with 3 different liveaboards and Blue Manta is the best one. That’s why I am coming back to Banda Sea with Blue Manta.

 
I’ve been in Alor Divers back in September 2012. They are OK. The one that I have never forget is the huge pod of dolphins greeted us when Giles took us to his resort.

 
I suppose local Lion Air flights don’t show up on your regular booking sites?
It does on AirAsia.com booking platform (or batik.com.my which is also Part of the LionAir/WingsAir/BatikAir group) however you cannot book the luggage ('you'll be entitled to only 15kgs). It won't work with Nusatrip.

Therefore as I said before you'll have to go through a 2 steps process :
- first book the flights without extra luggage with AirAsia or Batik.com.my. You then get a PNR number valid for LionAIr/Wings air.
- then add luggage through Lionair website inputting your PNR number.

You can add luggage now on the NusaTrip web site when purchasing tickets for this flight. This was not always the case and you had to buy the ticket and then as Luko says go to the Lion Air site to add luggage. The BookCabin app also allows you to add luggage to this flight directly.

Cheers. Where’s the port of departure? I’m looking at the weeks before, say. Sep 7-19ish in country. Give or take a day or two. Looks interesting. Fun with schooling hammers in good viz.
