Route Description - Halmahera – Malkusea
An adventure all about new discoveries.
This trip takes divers from Sorong in Irian Jaya, through the Molucca Sea past Halmahera to Manado in North Sulawesi. The 650 nautical mile journey offers a range of different land and seascapes. The trip starts with a taste of the beautiful coral reefs of Raja Ampat. On the south coast of Halmahera, divers explore walls and drop-offs with big fish action. The small islands off the west coast of Halmahera are home to great coral reefs. The end of the trip in North Sulawesi features pristine coral reefs, rich fish life, and spectacular critter diving in the famous black sand of the Lembeh Strait. It is a diverse trip with something for everybody.
The Pindito never follows a set itinerary. Trips and water activities are planned based on weather, tides, and currents. From the crew’s expertise and experience, they know the ideal sea conditions for all the best and most famous sites, and when to dive them. They also have access to lesser-known and even secret sites that are equally spectacular and known only to a select few.
