Diving Halmahera
Located between the dream diving spots of North Sulawesi and Raja Ampat, Halmahera is in the path of the Indonesian throughflow, the key to the biodiversity here. Halmahera offers a great mix of coral slopes and muck diving that will ensure unforgettable moments underwater.
Big schools of mackerels, batfish, unicornfish, fusiliers as well as reef sharks call this region their home turf. Macro enthusiasts can look forward to a range of Denise and Bargibant pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefish and other pipefish, unusual kinds of shrimps and crabs, rare nudibranchs, flatworms, and gobies. In certain areas there is the chance to see tuna, dolphins, pilot and other species of whales.
