Top choice reader about indonesia dive destination:
Best Macro
For the second year in a row, Indonesia takes the top spot in this category - likely on the strength of several really good destinations (Bali, Komodo, Manado, Raja Ampat) and one killer one: Lembeh Strait, the nerve center of macro diving in Indonesia. Make a list of all your must-see macro subjects - not pretty nudibranchs, but the hard-to-find ones like lacey scorpionfish, flamboyant cuttlefish and hairy ghost pipefish - and you'll see them in Lembeh. |

Best Underwater Photography
It stands to reason that the best underwater photo ops - whether you're looking for macro weirdness, big animals or colorful reefs - are where the best diving is. A top-five vote-getter in seven of the 15 categories, Indonesia is indisputably one of the best destinations in the world. It's not tough to imagine why: With more than 13,000 islands, Indonesia has an incredible diversity of photo opportunities for pro shooters and those just getting the bug: great macro in Lembeh Strait, breathtaking reefs in Raja Ampat, big animals in Manado, and even knock-your-fins-off rusted metal like Bali's Liberty wreck.(scubadivingmagazine)
