Diving in Indonesia is an endless
adventure with thousands of islands to choose from. Ever been to the north east
peninsula of North Sulawesi of Indonesia? There are many untouched reefs and
unknown places yet to discover in that region when thinking of scuba dive in Indonesia.
The Sangihe is a place of many underwater volcanoes and also it consists of about 40 volcanic islands. The area is not for someone looking for a easy relaxing scuba dive holiday in Indonesia. There many places in Bali and Komodo for those. Sangihe is for the adventure seekers who don’t mind travelling to the unknown and get surprise by every moment that comes.
Sangihe has hundreds of small islands with strange rock formations. The rewards wait for the divers once diving, the visibility is fantastic to as deep as 60 metres. The underwater world is untouched extremely large sponges are over 100 years old and many places where the corals never seen any divers. Due to the remoteness of the islands you can only dive many sites only going by a liveaboards.
You can also dive near the dormant volcano of Ruang. There are many positive feedbacks from the scuba divers who been here before. There is something extraordinary about the islands here as the landscapes are very unusual in shape, even when you go underwater. You will see sponge and crinoids of every color, shape and size which is not very common when diving in Indonesia.
The marine life here is not disturbed by human activities. You can expect to see sharks, dogtooth tuna and extraordinarily large schools of barracudas. Diving is Sangihe is possible all year round, but the weather condition can be a fact. The water visibility is not very clear during monsoon or rainy season. So speak to the experience divers or an instructor before planning your dive holiday in Indonesia.
