Raziščite otoke Banda
Otoki Banda so oddaljena skupina 11 idiličnih otokov v morju Banda na otoku Maluku. Tukaj živijo bujni koralni grebeni, ki podpirajo morsko življenje, od škorpijonov Ambon do kitov pilotov, potapljači pa lahko iščejo makro življenje, medtem ko v modrini morja plujejo kiti in jate skatov mobul. Čeprav je čarobno videti velike pelagične ribe, je pravi zaklad potapljanja na otokih Banda osupljiva raznolikost rib, tako velikih kot majhnih, ki obdajajo zdrave grebene in visoke stene.
Medtem ko se nekateri potapljači odločijo za spust v globine Bandskega morja iz nekaj potapljaških centrov in potapljaških letovišč v okolici, so bolj priljubljene ladje s prenočevanjem, ki plujejo skozi. Ker je Bandsko morje tako prostrano, je s prenočevanjem na ladji dostopna širša paleta potapljaških lokacij, kjer lahko celo preizkusite fantastično potapljanje v blatu Ambon.

Najboljši meseci za potapljanje na otokih Banda
Potapljanje na otokih Banda je najboljše marca in aprila ter od septembra do decembra. Izven teh časov je vreme nekoliko nestanovitno, z dežjem in bolj grobimi razmerami na površini. Indonezijske ladje za prenočevanje in celo potapljaški centri na kopnem običajno prenehajo s potapljanjem na tem območju, ko je morje Banda razburkano.
Morsko življenje je v mirnih obdobjih dokaj konstantno, v najboljših mesecih pa se vidljivost lahko podaljša od 15 do 30 metrov, kar potapljačem daje še večjo možnost opazovanja kitov, ki plujejo mimo. V mesecih, ko območje obiščejo ladje za prenočevanje, se temperatura vode redko spreminja, kar pomeni tople in udobne potope ves čas.
