Plongée à Alor — Indonesia
Alor is one of the Coral Triangle's last true frontiers, where volcanic black-sand slopes harbor an absurd density of macro critters alongside schooling hammerheads in strong currents. The remote location keeps diver numbers near zero, and the cultural experience of visiting traditional weaving villages is unlike anything else in Indonesia.
