Diving the Banda Sea on the Samambaia in 2022 (4K)

Our trip report from an October 2022 trip through the Banda Sea in Indonesia's Ring of Fire. Over the course of this 11- night itinerary (Ambon - Ambon) we encountered pristine coral reefs, hundreds of fish species and perhaps the biggest aggregation of sea snakes in the world.
