We collaborate with dozens of local facilitators while diving in Alor to provide you with a more involved diving experience.
Boats, transportation, hotels and private caterers are all locally sourced.
After almost 24 years of living and doing business in Indonesia, we have found that this is the best way to benefit the local economy.
Benefit from our 16 years of diving the Alor archipelago.
We work together with the local communities both in the main town of Kalabahi and out in the villages scattered throughout the islands to achieve a memorable diving tour for all of our guests.
As Dive Alor Dive is 100% Indonesian owned, 100% of all income is spent in Indonesia - so boost the local economy and dive with us
We normally do three day dives per day and night dives are also a common occurrence, so basically, the amount of dives you do is totally up to you.
We plan all no-decompression dives and safety stops are mandatory. We also have diving Computers for hire.
We have ten complete sets of diving equipment, sixty dive tanks and two Bauer portable compressors that ensure an abundant supply of fresh air for your dives.

The Boat
We charter a privately owned 23 meter x 5 meter inter island ferry that we have extensively modified to ensure comfort and safety for our diving guests.
Safety, while on the boat, is paramount. Safety equipment includes satellite phone, twin tank medical grade Oxygen unit, 18 adult size life jackets, two life rings and a full 300 piece Medic First Aid Kit.
You can relax knowing a fully qualified Emergency First-aid Response Instructor(Donovan) is always around.
Also, a large, raised, carpeted "Dry" area around(20m sq.) complete with pillows, allows guests to relax between dives.
A area in front of the captain's helm is for guests to get a spectacular panoramic view of the islands as we motor through the Alor Archipelago.
The dive boat also has a range of fish and coral reef guide books so you can identify any new or strange fish you see. Donovan has also discovered numerous fishes that appear not to be present in any of the Indo-Pacific fish guides, so just ask him and he can show them to you in their habitat.
Multiple entry and exit points around the boat ensure safe and easy entries and exits. Our highly trained dive crew together with the numerous boat staff means there's always a helping hand either to assist in assembling your diving equipment or disassembling and washing it in freshwater at the end of each diving day.
The large hard wood roof also acts as a deck that allows guests to have a 360 degree view of the islands while taking in some sun or just warming up between dives.
