About this site

Babylon is a reef dive site off Ternate Island in the Maluku Islands of eastern Indonesia, a volcanic island historically tied to the spice trade and dominated by the Gamalama volcano. The site is reached by boat from coastal villages along the shoreline, where the terrain drops quickly from shore into the Maluku Sea. It reaches a maximum depth of around 30 metres and is rated an intermediate dive. Divers here have reported angelfish, bannerfish, clownfish, grouper, and mackerel around the reef.
