Bestplacetovisitinindonesia; Weh, Indonesia

At the tip of Sumatra Island, is where Pulau Weh is located. To larn there, nosotros involve to wing to Banda Aceh, the almost northern metropolis of Sumatra thence a 45 minutes fast ferry to Sabang, Weh.

Banda Aceh

Banda Aceh together with Weh are real rigid inwards Muslim religion, endure little amongst what y'all habiliment if y'all desire to endure treated respectfully. No diving on a Fri till afterwards the Fri prayer. Try to avoid the Ramadan calendar month together with the Muslim festival season because most probable y'all volition non larn to create much on the island.

Lumba Lumba has rebuilt their resort afterwards the 2008 Tsunami, their rooms are spacious together with airy, a wooden veranda amongst sliding doors, facing the sea/beach above a colina gradient behind the dive center. They create non guide maintain a restaurant, but at that spot are a few restaurants on the beach to pick out from to guide maintain your meals. Bare inwards withdraw heed that they are extremely tiresome inwards their service, if y'all are inwards a big grouping together with y'all desire your meals serve faster, endeavor to gild the same dish, or else order them 1 hr earlier mitt together with provide afterwards y'all accept a shower. The measurement of living on this isle is simply equally good relax. :-) Don't rush!

Dive boat

Diving inwards Weh is a chip challenging, the electrical flow is unexpected together with almost sites tin terminate easily guide y'all downwards to 30m. I don't retrieve whatsoever dives without electrical flow except for the solid reef. Most dive sites are xx mins away yesteryear the wooden speedboat together with the boat is express to 10 to 12 divers. After every dives, they volition provide to the dive center. I mean value it is a waste matter of fourth dimension to locomote twoscore mins inwards together with out for every dives, nosotros wanted to create 2 dives at i larn but the boat couldn't accept extra tanks. :-( The shore dive is my favorite, muck dive of course. We constitute many sort of critters like, all sort of pipage fish, frog fish, Panthera leo fish, scorpion fish together with nudibranches. We were at that spot inwards April but the bounding main was nonetheless real stone oil on the outer reef, nosotros could alone dive inwards the bay, I mean value nosotros did the Tokong dive site dyad of times.

Weh is the alone other house thence Ambon that I guide maintain e'er seen thence many different species of moray eel, giant moray, white oculus moray, snowflake moray, ribbon eels, serpent eel, honeycomb moray together with many to a greater extent than which I don't know the get upwardly for them.

Due to the electrical flow together with depth, I recommend this house for advanced divers only.
