Scuba Diving in Alor

Alor Island is a premier destination for those seeking a unique and world-class diving adventure. Alor offers its outstanding macro life, stunning coral and benthic diversity, expansive anemone fields, schools of fish, and a resident endangered Dugong population, making these marine features the primary attractions for divers.

The area has volcanoes, and if you are into macro photography, the muck dives in Kalabahi Bay are fantastic. The Pantar Strait area has diverse underwater landscape, is ideal for capturing larger fish and is better for wide-angle photography. Occasionally, larger animals like Orcas, Sunfish (Mola Mola) may make an appearance. The best time to spot Mola Mola is in September.

Spotting of dolphins is quite frequent, and melon-headed or blue whales can be spotted from time to time. On the northern side of Alor, there are a resident group of hammerhead sharks, but get ready for some strong currents if you want a chance to see them!
