Introducing the Banda

On drums…Not wanting to miss a beat we decided that it was not fair to only offer liveaboard trips in North Sulawesi, Komodo and Raja Ampat. As a result of our continuous fact-finding missions, we concluded that Banda was not just another place to dive but was a special place in its own right, with its own unique history and range of underwater sights.

On keyboards…Rivers of ink have been spilled enthusing about Raja Ampat as the centre of the world’s marine biodiversity and much of it is warranted. However If you have been to Banda before then you will know that there is enormous diversity here too, with everything from meaty pelagics, lots of big schools and every macro delight you can imagine. The richness of the dive sites is off the scale. Check out what the Banda dive sites hold in store for you.

On brass…..There are a number of liveaboards operating in Banda with various price ranges represented. We expect more boats to visit the region in the coming years but for now you can check out who boldly cruises around this amazing region by perusing our Banda Liveaboards.

On bass…Back in the day the Banda Sea was better known for its olden say spice trade, but now the main reason to go there is the awesome underwater life and scenery.

On vocals…So we have decided to shout it out loud and who better a frontman than our very own 80’s throwback Sheldon Hey? Read his Banda Liveaboard trip report on the Adventurer II.

Ladies and Gentlemen, please give a big Dive The World welcome to…the Banda Sea!
