Explore as Ilhas Banda
As Ilhas Banda são um grupo remoto de 11 ilhas idílicas localizadas no Mar de Banda, em Maluku. Lar de prósperos recifes de coral que sustentam a vida marinha, desde o peixe-escorpião Ambon até baleias-piloto, os mergulhadores podem procurar vida macro enquanto cetáceos e esquadrões de raias mobula passam no azul. Por mais mágico que seja ver os grandes pelágicos, o verdadeiro tesouro do mergulho nas Ilhas Banda é a surpreendente diversidade de peixes, grandes e pequenos, que envolvem recifes saudáveis e paredões imponentes.
Embora alguns mergulhadores optem por descer às profundezas do Mar de Banda a partir dos poucos centros de mergulho e resorts de mergulho na área, os liveaboards mais populares são os que navegam por lá. Como o Mar de Banda é tão vasto, uma variedade maior de pontos de mergulho pode ser acessada pelos liveaboards, onde você pode até mesmo experimentar o fantástico mergulho em lama de Ambon.
