Big Blue Planet knows about the following countries in this region:

Indonesia
Indonesia is the world's largest Archipelago with over 17,000 islands. Well trodden destinations such as Bali and Java are easily accessible, but others such as Sulawesi and Sumatra are definately for the more adventurous. Waters are very nutrient rich making the diving stunning with fantastic corals and macro photography opportunities.
