- Nusa Tenggara: From Lombok’s seamounts to Timor’s muck-diving bays
- Maluku: Hidden reefs offering encounters with rare critters
- Raja Ampat & West Papua: Pristine shallows, white-sand beaches, and postcard-perfect coral panoramas
The book not only covers Indonesia’s stunning reefs but also delves into the diverse range of diving opportunities found in the country. Highlights found in the book include:
- Blackwater night dives that reveal extraordinary plankton blooms
- Dramatic wall dives around Selayar Island
- Whale and dolphin excursions off Alor
- The famed USS Liberty wreck at Tulamben, Bali
“The Ultimate Guide to Diving” is the work of Sarah Ann Wormald, who transitioned from solicitor to dive instructor after discovering the Red Sea and relocated to Indonesia in 2007.
Wormald dedicated her life to safe, sustainable diving, collaborating with operators who champion reef conservation. She passed away earlier this year.
