Manta Mae

Day 1. Ambon

Pick up at your hotel or Ambon airport by our crew for a short transfer to Teluhu Bay, where Mantamae awaits you. Once onboard, welcome drink in hand, you will be introduced to the rest of the crew, shown around, and immediately start to feel at home. We’ll have a check muck dive at Teluhu Bay. The Intensity of marine life here is unrivaled; critters benefit from the nutrient-rich currents pushing into this bay but are still protected by sheltered waters in the many small coves. This unique combination creates conditions that nourish an incredible ecosystem, making it one of the richest and most exciting places to dive. In the late afternoon, we’ll set sail for the Banda Islands.

Day 2. Banda Islands

The Banda area offers a good variety of dive sites. Volcanic rocks at Pulau Pisang create a deep swim-through that you can drift through and view the sponge-covered wall on the other side, perhaps spotting Moral eels at the top of the wall as well as schools of bump head parrotfish. We’ll also dive at the black sand of Batu Kapal in Banda’s harbor, a submerged pinnacle, breaking the surface of the water in the shape of a boat which offers muck diving with flying gurnards spreading their electric blue wings, sea moth, nudibranchs and the mandarin fish. Various types of fish are present in vast numbers, along with huge gorgonian fans and some truly monumental sponges. We’ll also have a wall dive at Tanjung Burung with a strong current.

Day 3. Pulau Hatta

Once known as Rozengain, Pulau Hatta is a stunning flying-saucer-shaped island of jungle-swathed limestone trimmed with white sand. It offers some of the finest underwater panoramas and is considered one of the world’s best-snorkeling sites. Long white beaches edged with swaying palms, unspoiled reefs, and superb diving at the Hatta Arch, Takat Hatta Reef, and Tj Buton make Hatta everyone’s favorite destination.

Day 4. Pulau Run 

Early morning we’ll sail to Pulau Run to dive at Tanjung Noret, Tanjun Lokon, and Pulau Nailaka, all great locations with white sandy slopes interspaced with large coral heads and healthy reefs. This region is full of unexplored dive sites, and the Banda Sea is the perfect location for the discovery of new underwater treasures. This tiny island has a fascinating history, too; in 1667, the English traded Run for New Amsterdam (now Manhattan), giving the Dutch full control of the Banda archipelago and the nutmeg trade.

Day 5. Pulau Ai

Very few divers witness Pulau Ai’s unspoiled reef’s true nature – a secret in the middle of the Banda Sea reached by live-aboard only. This area acts as an oasis for pelagics that cruise by these pristine hard coral reefs cloaked in clouds of fish – Napoleon wrasse, green and hawksbill turtle, tuna, rainbow runner, vast schools of barracuda mixing with schools of bannerfish, red tooth triggers, and fusiliers. Batu Payung, Umbrella Rock, is named for the many overhangs along the island walls, which divers can drift along and enjoy the thousands of tiny reef fish darting in and out of the cracks crevices. We’ll also have night dive at Mandarine City.

Day 6-7. Banda Island 

Back at Banda Neira, you will have the chance to explore the fabled islands’ historical and cultural legacies, the center of the former lucrative spice trade. Wandering through the town, you’ll observe the Dutch colonial architecture, which remains to this day, as well as Fort Belgica with its incredible views overlooking the bay. During the day, we’ll dive around the Lighthouse Reef, one of the Lava Flow sites under the volcano, and we’ll also have a night dive close to the harbor at Mandarine City.

Day 7-8. Pulau Suanggi

At Pulau Suanggi, we’ll dive at Tanjung Selatan and Tanjung Utara, where it’s possible to see schooling o   hammerhead sharks. Late afternoon we’ll sail to Nusa Laut.

Day 8. Nusa Laut – Pulau Molana

Early morning, we arrive at the beautiful Ahmet Reef in Nusa Laut. The locals have introduced sustainable methods to protect their reefs, and their efforts have produced excellent results. We’ll dive at Nildesperandum and at Karang Duisburg, where white tips and reef sharks patrol the depths, playful turtles can be spotted, and In October and November, there’s the chance of diving with Hammerhead sharks.) We might choose to visit the fort and the waterfall here or sail to Pulau Molana for one more wall dive. The shallow wall breaks in places, and in the sandy slopes, ribbon eels, small pipefish, and moray eels can be found. Above the reef, turtles are seen feeding in the beautiful coral garden.

Day 11.  Sorong – Departure day

Marine Life: At least 75 percent of all coral species can be found in Raja Ampat. Divers can expect a range of topography from soft corals and sea fans to hard corals, seagrass beds, mangroves, shallow reefs, deep drop-offs, caves, black sand, and white sand. Giant manta rays, sea turtles, sharks, cuttlefish, pipefish, various seahorse species, and massive schools of reef fish are the norm, plus the delightful wobbegong sharks and epaulet sharks inhabit these waters too.
