About this site
Lava Flow I sits off Naira Island in the Banda Islands, part of Maluku province in eastern Indonesia's Banda Sea, a region long known for nutmeg trade and volcanic activity. As the name suggests, the site lies along terrain shaped by past eruptions of nearby Gunung Api, whose flows have left distinctive contours on the seabed. The dive reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres over a reef bottom, with light current, and is rated a beginner site.
