The wonders of Morotai Island are waiting to be discovered!
We have already discovered around 40 dive sites but don’t yet know how many more there are to be found! You could help us explore more and even name new sites. As Morotai lies far beyond the beaten paths of Indonesia we see the exciting chance to discover unknown dive sites and ensure that they are treated in a sustainable way. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to be part of such a unique opportunity?
Dive Sites
Where are the mantas, the sharks, the caves?
The area of dive sites we cover reaches from the eastern coast of Pandanga - the south tip of Morotai Island - with its steep walls around Metita Island to the north around Rau Island, including Dodola Island with its beautiful corals and GaloGalo where we find mantas. On day trips you can discover the dive sites around the mainland of Halmahera in the Tobelo area where an underwater volcano and plenty of muck diving sites are located.
Night Diving
Discover strange creatures at night
As recently as 2013, a new species of shark was discovered in Halmahera: the Walking Shark. Hemiscyllium halmahera uses its fins to crawl along the seabed and forage for small fish and crustaceans. The shark, which has wide horizontal stripes, grows to a maximum length of just 75cm and is harmless to humans. It is easily found at night in shallow sandy or broken coral areas. Aside from this unique creature, many other beautiful animals to be found in the dark should not be missed.
Shark Diving
Sharks sightings at our House Reef
From Metita Beach & Dive Resort it is just a 2-minute boat ride to the outer edge of the reef where the sandy plateaus slowly descend. Drop down to around 18m to watch an array of sharks effortlessly gliding around you in the current. To end your dive, follow the reefs looking for macro species and schools of sweetlips or mackerels.
Photography
A fully equipped camera room for you
Our dive centre offers a fully equipped camera room for individuals, groups, and the participants of workshops. There are seven camera stations in the air-conditioned room as well as a separate station with a diving cylinder and nozzle attachment, which can be used to dry your camera housing.
