The variation of diving to be found in Ambon is probably the aspect that surprises visiting adventurous divers the most.

Photo © Mark Snyder

Fabled for exceptional macro and critters, the muck dive sites in Ambon’s huge bay plays host to an enormous variation of critters, a macro photographers’ wishlist of specimens; several different variations of rhiniopias, inimicus, wonderpus, stone fish, countless varieties of frogfish, ghost pipefish, pegasus sea moths, mandarin fish, flamboyant cuttlefish, octopi and seahorses of all shapes and sizes, in addition to the newest resident, a recently discovered possible new species of frogfish. These subjects are found on a number of sites within the bay, in addition to interesting photo opportunities beneath Ambon’s jetty.

However, it’s not all about the muck in Ambon. The fish laced sites of Pulau Tiga on the westerly coast have some of the most prolific fish life to be found in Indonesia. Blankets of red tooth trigger and surgeonfish scour the reef with reef sharks, grouper, napoleon and bumpheads regularly spotted. The underwater architecture of Pintu Kota and Hukarila Cave, signature sites on Ambon’s southerly cost, make incredible photographic opportunities and Ambon bay is also the final resting place for a 100 metre fully intact Dutch cargo vessel.

As of now, there is just one western owned dive centre on Ambon; Maluku Divers, situated on the Island’s southerly peninsula in the pretty village of Latuhalat. Maluku Divers uses their three twin engine custom designed dive vessels to travel the 10 – 20 minute trips to the closer south coast dive sites and into Ambon Bay. For further sites, the dives at Pulau Tiga and Seram, the sites are usually reached in 45 minutes during 3-dives day trips.

Solmar V, in conjunction with Great White Adventures, offers submersible cage diving on our Isla Guadalupe expeditions.

Isla Guadalupe, Mexico is the marquis destination for viewing Great White Sharks. it has a reputation as the world’s best place to encounter these animals and is home to arguably the most prolific population of Great Whales on earth.

The MV Solmar V in Isla Guadalupe

The waters surrounding the island are a Mexican national biosphere reserve, and we are a proud partner in marine conservation and research.

Isla Guadalupe is a utopia for photographers, videographers and shark fans who long for pristine views and close encounters. The sharks here are mostly large sub-adults between 8′-15′ and do not bear many mating scars, which makes them makes them perfect models for your camera. Larger mature female sharks typically begin arriving at the island in October. Visibility is exceptional, averaging 90-100 ft. or more and water temperatures are 65-72 degrees.

The submersible cage allows us to descend a little further into the world of the Great White Shark. Although the submersible cage is only 20′ below the surface of the water, it provides a completely different perspective to your Great White Shark diving experience. A Great White Adventures safety diver escorts one diver at a time on these 20-minute dives. We rotate all divers who wish to experience the submersible cage as many times as conditions will allow. The view offered by the submersible cage is a photographers’ dream come true. You are actually surrounded on all sides by the apex predator of the sea. We have had an exceptional response from our guests about how phenomenal this experience is. Both professional and amateur photographers rave about the different angles available to capture the mighty Great White Sharks of Isla Guadalupe.

Solmar V

The Solmar V is a 112’ luxury live-aboard dive vessel based in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico since 1992.
Now under new ownership, the Solmar V is a true four-season liveaboard that takes advantage of weather patterns to provide optimal diving year-round.

We journey 250 miles south of Los Cabos into the eastern Pacific Ocean to the Revillagigedos Islands - more commonly known as the Socorro Islands - to dance with the Giant Pacific manta ray, cavort with dolphins, dodge seven different species of sharks and thrill to an occasional lucky interaction with the migrating humpback whale population. This is remote, adventure diving at its finest.

The Sea of Cortez is one of the youngest and most fertile seas on earth, containing over 850 species of reef fish, as well as the famous flying mobulas and an assortment of schooling pelagics and tropicals. We’ve been diving the Sea of Cortez for over 25 years, and we call it home.

In August and September, we are based in Ensenada, Mexico and follow the ultimate apex predator to Guadalupe Island, 180 miles offshore. This is rapidly becoming the world’s best location to dive in custom-built shark cages with great white sharks. Because we use hookah instead of scuba tanks on these trips, you do not need to be a certified scuba diver to enjoy the rush of going eyeball to eyeball with a 16′ great white shark.

The Revillagigedos Archipelago, more commonly called Socorro is located in the eastern Pacific Ocean approximately 250 miles south of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico – at the tip of the Baja peninsula. These islands have been compared to the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador or Cocos Island in Costa Rica because of the big animal encounters they provide.

The Revillagigedos Islands consist of 4 islands – San Benedicto Island, Socorro Island, Roca Partida and Clarion. We simply call them Socorro. They are wild, remote and unpredictable and have been called the Mexican Galapagos. This area is famous for up close and personal encounters with the Giant Pacific manta ray, which can grow to 22 feet from wingtip to wingtip. We’ve been interacting with these gentle giants since 1992 and as a result of having worked with several manta researchers over the years, we have extensive ID’s on most of them and special relationships with many of them. We absolutely do not chase or ride the mantas, and we allow our interaction with them to be initiated by the mantas themselves. We believe that their continued willingness to interact with divers is due to the respect we have shown for them over the years. San Benedicto is by far the best location in the world to experience and photograph these gentle giants. The feeling of a wild animal this large deliberately interacting with you is something you will never forget.

There are lots of sharks in the Revillagigedos Islands - hammerhead schools, white tips, silver tips, silkies, duskies, Galapagos and occasionally tigers.

We have encountered up to 7 species of sharks on a single dive! There are several hammerhead cleaning stations that we visit each trip, weather permitting. Whale sharks are a special treat at the islands, they find us in November/December and late April/May.

We also encounter pods of wild bottlenose dolphin on a regular basis and from January through March, these islands are home to a large population of humpback whales, that come here to breed and calve. We have observed several newborn humpbacks in the years we’ve been fortunate enough to visit these remote and pristine islands. In the last few years the frequency of underwater encounters with humpbacks has increased dramatically. The scientists who visit the Revillagigedos Islands every year to study the migrating whale population tell us that after twelve years of encountering the SOLMAR V, the humpbacks now recognize our vessel and so the opportunity for underwater encounters improves. Add to the mix extremely large tuna (the world record yellowfin is from these waters), wahoo, thick schools of jacks and many other big critters along with endemic tropicals found nowhere else in the world, and you have the BEST BIG ANIMAL DIVING ON EARTH!!

Day 01 / Cabo San Lucas - San Benedicto
Departure from Cabo San Lucas about 4 p.m. to San Benedicto Island.

Day 02 / Diving San Benedicto
Arrival at San Benedicto about 1-2 p.m.(crossing takes 22-24 hours) rest of the afternoon is spent diving.

Day 03 / San Benedicto - Socorro Islands
Day is normally spent diving around San Benedicto and considering weather possibilities for a crossing to Roca Partida. After sunset boat departs to Socorro Islands - crossing takes 4-5 hours. On occasion if weather looks good we might decide to try Roca before Socorro.

Day 04 / Socorro Islands
Arrival Socorro Islands early a.m. then quick check in at Navy Base for clearance. Most of this day is spent diving around Socorro Island. If conditions are good here or it is humpback whale season we might stay another day but usually we depart back to either San Benedicto or Roca Partida after sunset.

Day 05 / Diving San Benedicto or Roca Partida
Arrival early morning to San Benedicto or Roca Partida, with diving all day.

Days 06, 07 / Diving San Benedicto or Roca Partida - Cabo San Lucas
These days are spent diving numerous sites around San Benedicto and/or Roca Partida depending on weather and if we have been able to get to Roca Partida previously. Both islands known for most of the large animal encounters on our trips. Departure after a full day of diving on Day 7 back to Cabo.

Day 08 / Cabo San Lucas
Arrival to Cabo after a 22+ hour crossing, depending on weather conditions, which means the boat usually arrives after sunset on this day. Guests overnight in port and disembark the next morning after breakfast onboard. Our dock has a great location near town for those who want to get off and stretch their legs or visit the local night spots.

Day 09 / Disembark the Solma V
All clients must disembark after breakfast no later than 9 a.m. Our crew will help you with your bags and in arranging airport transportation.
This is a general itinerary that is adjusted on a trip by trip basis according to weather and marine life. Having dived this area since 1992, our crew and boat are familiar with the changing conditions and knowledge to maximize your BIG animal experience.
