The archipelago of Alor includes 6 islands with Pantar and Alor being the biggest ones. There are more than 60 impressive and mostly untouched dive sites around Alor. Most of these lie in the nutrient-rich Pantar Straits between Alor and Pantar. You can expect to see incredible underwater biodiversity. In addition, nutrient rich upwelling waters bring in the pelagics. We have seen sunfish, thresher sharks, hammerhead sharks, humpback whales and even marlin and sailfish. The many protected pristine reefs provide a perfect home for smaller colorful creatures and up to 1,000 species of coral reef fishes and 500 species of corals. Walls, bommies, caves and patch reef formations make for dramatic 3D underwater topography while black sand areas provide perfect habitat for muck diving and cryptic critters. Come join us in diving these pristine dive sites!

Jacques Cousteau and John Steinbeck saw the magic that the Sea of Cortez has to offer. Jacques Cousteau called the Sea of Cortez “the worlds aquarium.” John Steinbeck wrote "The Log of the Sea of Cortez" a journey through a remote and beautiful corner of the world, a diary filled with the daily excitements and triumphs of skillful and energetic men. It is also an invitation to see the world anew from a fresh vantage point and perhaps with a broader and more understanding spirit. Come explore with the Women Divers Hall of Fame the Sea of Cortez, home to an amazing array of wild life above and below the water line!
