VISIT THE COUNTRY WITH MORE WORLD–CLASS
DIVE SITES THAN ANY OTHER
INDONESIA has an unfair advantage – powerful
currents converging and rushing around its 17,000odd islands, over an area spanning nearly two million square
kilometres. Indo makes up a big chunk of the Coral Triangle
and, as such has more than it’s fair share of the best diving in
the world. If you haven’t been, you owe it to yourself to go at
least five times. Maybe six...
