Banda Sea – Indonesia : September 25 – October 6, 2028

Diving in the Forgotten Islands you can expect to find plenty of rare and unusual critters and stunning corals, but you will also have fantastic opportunities for pelagic sightings and schools of larger fish such as barracuda and mackerel, as well as the chance to meet schooling hammerhead sharks. Dive sites in the Forgotten Islands are in the Banda Sea and are particularly noticeable for the crystal clear blue sea, deep walls and huge sponges. The stunning walls of the Banda Sea are beautiful and healthy due to the isolation of these areas. The sunlight in the shallows of the dive sites light up the dancing anthias that really look like someone is throwing up ‘confetti fish’! The Arenui is a traditional and magnificent Phinisi – a classic Indonesian wooden sailing vessel – set to explore the majestic underwater world of the Indonesian archipelago. The Arenui can be your private sanctuary and second home, but one located amidst a constantly changing tropical landscape. Their experienced crew know the best dive sites that the Forgotten Islands have to offer, so come on a diving trip with Midwest Aquatics and experience the Forgotten Islands and Banda Sea in comfort and luxury.
