Plongée à Morotai — Indonesia
Morotai was a major WWII staging base for MacArthur's Pacific campaign, and its waters still hold Japanese and American aircraft wrecks slowly being consumed by coral. This is true expedition-level diving — infrastructure is minimal but the reward is untouched reefs and possible dugong encounters in waters virtually no recreational divers visit.
