East Nusa Tenggara · 5–35 m
A reef and wall dive off Ternate island (Alor) with interesting overhangs around 30 m and a good reputation for nudibranchs, making it a favourite for macro photographers. The healthy wall is dressed in corals and sponges, and Alor's strong currents can deliver passing fish action. A scenic site usually combined with nearby The Arch and Coral Cliffs.

An astonishing dive off Pura island where nearly every surface of the slope is carpeted with bulb-tentacle sea anemones, reckoned to be among the highest anemone concentrations anywhere. Clark's and tomato anemonefish dart between hosts, and volcanic bubbles seep from the seabed in the shallows. A unique, easy site that doubles as a sign of Pura's volcanic origin.

East Nusa Tenggara · 2–40 m
Two underwater pinnacles (tops at about 7 m and 2 m) lying northwest of Kepa island in the Pantar Strait, swept by the powerful Indonesian Throughflow. When the fierce, shifting currents calm enough to dive, it offers spectacular fish action with dogtooth tuna, Napoleon wrasse, trevally and sweetlips over current-flattened coral. One of Alor's flagship advanced dives, only run when conditions are right.
