Map of Sharks Galore

Sharks Galore

East Nusa Tenggara · 5–30 m

A site on the eastern coast of Pura island, named for sharks once seen here, though numbers have declined and sightings are now unreliable. The underwater landscape is attractive with abundant anemones typical of this stretch of Pantar Strait. A pleasant reef dive best run on favourable current.

The Arch (Ternate)

East Nusa Tenggara · 5–35 m

A striking wall dive off Ternate island where large underwater crevices form a sizeable arch at roughly 20 to 30 m. Coral cover is very healthy with whip corals and gorgonians, and the long whip corals can host rare wire-coral shrimp. Impressive topography of walls, arches and overhangs makes it one of the most dramatic dives in the Alor area.

The Cathedral (Motolang)

East Nusa Tenggara · 5–35 m

A spectacular site between Pura and Alor where a steep above-water cliff continues underwater as jumbled boulders and a coral-clad wall of hard and soft corals and sponges. A swim-through with a cave at around 25 m can shelter resting tawny nurse sharks, while the reef holds pygmy and Pontohi seahorses, frogfish and blue-ringed octopus. Dramatic topography makes it an Alor favourite.
