Diving Alor is an area around the island of Alor and Pantar, and the islands inside the Pantar strait: Pura, Buaya, Ternate, Kumba. These are the prime diving areas.

Alor is good for both beginners and advanced divers. There are cave and cavern filled walls with dramatic topography, in a very quiet fishing village in Pura island. No current here but full of 'OW!'s and 'WOW!'s. Also available is the dive site called 'Kal's dream'. Kal Muller is a famous Hugarian Borned ethnologist who study the tribes in West Papua Indonesia. This is his dream site and what a site it is! 2M long Dog-toothed Tunas patrolled this underwater mount, along with eagle rays, silver tip sharks, grey reef sharks, barracudas, and napoleon wrass. This site though, is reserved for advanced divers only as current can get a bit rough at times.

Many critters for the macro divers This location is reputablly one of the best in Asia.

Many of the sites are perfectly vertical coral walls going down to 50~60 meters, with 30+ meters vis being common during the good months (May till November/December)

At this time there are only a handful of Live-aboard boats such as Grand Komodo, but only one land-based boutique resort based in Pantar called 'Alor-Divers'

Travelling to Alor involve at least one night in Bali in order to catch the 10AM flight to Kupang and then onwards to Alor. Returning trips could directly connect to afternoon/evening flights when landed in Denpasar, Bali in around 2PM.
