Plongée à Banda Islands — Indonesia
The Banda Islands are Indonesia's original Spice Islands, where vertical walls plummet into deep blue water with some of the Coral Triangle's healthiest hard coral. Virtually zero diver traffic means you'll have pristine sites to yourself. Above water, nutmeg plantations and Dutch colonial forts tell a fascinating history of the spice trade.
