The Edge of the World
From Raja Ampat via Halmahera to Manado

This cruise takes Tambora along the very edge of the Indonesian archipelago, and through some of the most exciting and diverse yet very rarely dived regions.

Starting out of Sorong, we will quickly move into the Dampier Strait for our first couple of dives. We will next work our way up North, past Waigeo to Wayag, a labyrinth of uninhabited limestone islands and sheer cliffs. After taking in the breathtaking beauty of the scenery both above and below sea level, Tambora will set sails for the passage to Halmahera. The next coupe of days, we will take in the frontier sites in this new diving province. In addition to excellent soft and hard coral coverage on its reefs and lots of fish action, the area around Morotai also offers a lot of WW II relics, both at the bottom of the sea and on land.

After passing round the northern cape of Halmahera, we will dive the Loloda group. Leaving Halmahera for our crossing to Sulawesi, we will stop en route at Mayu island prior to pulling into the world famous Lembeh Strait.

Manado is within easy reach from either Singapore, Bali or Jakarta. From Manado, daily scheduled flights connect to Sorong. For travelers wishing to extend their cruise with resort-based diving and/or land-based exploration, Manado offers a wide choice for both.
