Scuba Diving in Indonesia

Indonesia, being the world’s largest archipelago, has almost 80,000 km of coastline with nearly 3.1 square km of tropical seas.

Scuba diving in Indonesia is perfectly suited to all divers of different abilities. There are mainly two seasons in Indonesia, the dry and the rainy season.
