About this site
Maitara is a small island sitting in the strait between Ternate and Tidore in the Maluku province of Indonesia, an area historically known as the Spice Islands. The waters here are part of the volcanic island chain running through the Halmahera Sea, with steep drop-offs typical of the region's coastlines.
