The name Indonesia has its roots in two Greek words: "Indos" meaning Indian and "Nesos" which means islands. It is an appropriate description of the archipelago as there are estimated to be a total of 17,508 islands, of which only about 6,000 are inhabited, stretching for 5,150 km between the Australian and Asian continental mainlands and dividing the Pacific and Indian Oceans at the Equator.

Indonesia is in the center of the Indo-Pacific bio-sphere, and is the largest archipelago in the world. There are over 17,000 islands spread across 3,000 miles, and diving conditions are exceptional. It is one of the richest and most diverse marine habitats on the earth. The rich diversity of marine fish also extends to an equally rich diversity of marine corals (over 500 varieties). In addition to reefs, you can experience fantastic wall diving, "flying" drift dives, and many great wrecks.

What about the marine life? How about shrimp to whalesharks, squid to dolphins, sea horses to blue ribbon eels, scorpion fish to turtles, manta rays to..... well you get the picture, this place is loaded!!

While the infrastructure in Indonesia to support diving is still young, there are excellent dive centers, resorts and liveaboards throughout the area.
