From Raja Ampat to Weh Island, the
Indonesian archipelago features some of the
world’s best diving. The Mandeh Islands,
Thousand Islands of Jakarta, Bali, Gili Air,
Lembeh, Bunaken, Gorontalo and so much
more – this is a diver’s paradise.
The coral reefs of Indonesia make up 18
percent of its 284,300 square kilometres, and
are home to around 2,500 species of fish,
590 types of coral, 2,500 mollusc species and
1,500 different crustaceans.
Indonesia’s incredible marine biodiversity
is a powerful reason to participate in ADEX
2016. Working closely with partners in the
travel industry, we are confident that by 2020,
we will have reached our goal of welcoming 20
million visitors to this exceptional place.

The Hae-Nyeo of Jeju island in Korea are

a tradition that has continued for well over a
