Plongée à Flores — Indonesia

Flores stretches east from Komodo National Park through Riung's 17 Islands marine park to Maumere Bay, offering wildly varied diving along its length. The island is the natural extension of a Komodo liveaboard trip, with volcanic topography, pristine reefs, and blue whale sightings off the south coast. Kelimutu's tri-colored crater lakes are a must-see topside.
