Diving Guidebook of North Maluku
The North Maluku chain of islands stretches northwards and away from the better-known island of Ambon. Like the entire Indonesian archipelago, this is an area full of scuba diving potential. The region is part of the much-famed Spice Islands so was once an important and wealthy trading hub. The largest island in the group is Halmahera where the terrain is distinctly volcanic and the diving is – as yet – still somewhat unexplored. However, recently a few adventurous liveaboards started sailing past Pulau Pisang, to Bacan and then Goraici before reaching Halmahera. There are a wide variety of dive sites including open water pinnacles that are masked by massive schools of barracuda and plenty of shallow black sand beaches that reveal exciting muck dives with plenty of weird and wonderful creatures.
