The 50 Best Dives in Indonesia by Tim Rock,Simon Pridmore Pdf

Indonesia is a huge country that most divers agree offers the best scuba diving in the world. It is a vast archipelago, spread between two oceans and over several seas, that connects Asia with Australasia and encompasses a vast part of the rich reef system known as the Coral Triangle. These waters are home to the greatest diversity of life forms on the planet. This is scuba nirvana. There are so many wonderful dive sites in so many areas of Indonesia that it can be hard to choose where to start or, after you have started, where to go next. In this essential guide, Tim Rock and Simon Pridmore aim to help you decide by highlighting what they believe are the top fifty Indonesian dive sites: the best of the best. All the main diving areas are represented here, from the tip of Sumatra to the heart of West Papua. Whether you are an experienced veteran of Indonesian diving or a novice planning to visit the region for the first time, this book is for you. Not only will it help you pick out the key hotspots in relatively well-known places like Bali, Komodo and Raja Ampat, it will also introduce you to the top sites in the more remote, much less visited parts of the country, such as Mapia, Maputi or Manuk. There are shipwrecks, deep walls, enormous fish aggregations, weird creatures, wild rides, ancient reefs, kaleidoscopic seascapes, even an undersea volcano. No matter how well you know Indonesian waters, there will still be at least a few dives in these pages that you have not yet logged, maybe never even heard of. Full color throughout with over 200 images and maps, this is the third volume in a series that also includes the 50 Best Dives in Micronesia and the 50 Best Dives in the Philippines.
