Ambon - Maluku, East Indonesia Dive Site |
 Ambon City, the central hub of East Indonesia and capital city of the Maluku Province, is home to one of the most incredibly diverse marine ecosystems in Indonesia. This is have spectacular reef dives with good coral coverage, schooling fish and unusual formations.
There are so many species of fish present in the Ambon region that
specialists cannot give the exact total number. What is known is that
there are more than 3000 species of fish and several hundred species of
corals accounted for with the numbers still rising. Even the healthiest
of Caribbean reefs has only 10 or 20 percent of the species diversity
of a comparable reef in Ambon.
Ambon's diving was one of the mecca's of Indonesia's diving. The
near-mythical Twilight Zone, king of the Muck Dives in Ambon at Laha is
still great. Previously this site was filled with devil scorpionfish,
strange octopus, boxer crabs, leaf scorpionfish, nudibranchs galore,
weird frogfish, shrimps, stargazers, Flamboyant Cuttlefish, Rhinopious,
loads of frogfish, Cockatoo Waspfish, ghost pipefish.
