About this site
Halmahera is the largest island in the Maluku group of eastern Indonesia, sitting within the Coral Triangle between Sulawesi and West Papua. The waters around it are fringed by reefs and volcanic slopes that drop toward the Molucca Sea, with local dive operations typically running out of small coastal settlements.
