Itineraries

Raja Ampat sits within the heart of the Coral Triangle and is known for its exceptional marine biodiversity. Diving ranges from coral-covered reefs and pinnacles to current-swept sites where schools of fish, reef sharks, manta rays, and an incredible variety of smaller marine life can be encountered. Above water, limestone islands, hidden bays, viewpoints, and local communities are an equally important part of exploring the region.

Komodo combines some of Indonesia’s best-known diving with landscapes and wildlife found nowhere else in the country. Underwater, strong currents bring nutrient-rich water through the national park, supporting coral reefs, manta rays, sharks, turtles, schooling fish, and a wide range of macro life. Time ashore is an important part of the experience, with opportunities to see Komodo dragons, walk to panoramic viewpoints, and explore the islands of the national park. Note: Routes include dedicated Komodo itineraries, as well as select longer departures connecting Komodo with Bali or Alor.

The Banda Sea and Forgotten Islands take Scubaspa Zen through one of the more remote parts of the Indonesian archipelago. Diving includes walls, reefs, volcanic underwater landscapes, and open-water sites, with seasonal opportunities for encounters with schooling hammerhead sharks and other pelagic life. These longer routes are as much about exploration as individual dive sites, connecting distant islands and rarely visited areas while moving between different regions of Indonesia. Departures vary from year to year and may include routes between Alor, Ambon, Sorong, and Kaimana.

Alor has an incredibly varied diving experience, from clear water and coral-covered reefs to current-swept sites and some of Indonesia’s best-known muck diving. Rhinopias, harlequin shrimp, hairy frogfish, nudibranchs, and other unusual macro life make the black-sand sites as rewarding as the reefs, while encounters with hammerhead sharks, mola mola, and passing blue whales are also possible. Its remote location and volcanic island scenery add another dimension above water, with opportunities for cultural encounters and time ashore depending on the route. Note: Scubaspa Zen visits Alor on select routes, including connections between the region and Komodo or the Banda Sea.
