About this site
Adara lies along the coast of Timor-Leste, a country occupying the eastern half of Timor island in the Lesser Sunda chain of Indonesia's southeastern archipelago. The site sits over a wreck bottom and reaches a maximum depth of around 15 metres, with good visibility and a beginner grade that makes it an accessible dive. Divers have reported a wide range of reef fish here, including bicolor chromis, ternate chromis, blue-headed wrasse, moon wrasse, and sixbar wrasse, along with bluestreak cleaner wrasse, lined bristletooth, orangestripe triggerfish, and pearlscale angelfish. Fusiliers, snapper, unicornfish, and nudibranchs round out the smaller reef life, while napoleon wrasse and even hammerhead sharks have also been noted passing through.
