Diving in Bira
On the eastern tip of Southern Sulawesi lies the hidden gem of Bira. Separating the Flores Sea and the Gulf of Boni, this piece of paradise is undoubtedly one of the best places to dive in Indonesia. You can expect crystal-clear waters, pristine coral reefs and abundant marine life! From schools of thousands of triggerfish to rays and reef sharks, Bira will not disappoint. We offer a wide range of services, including both fun dives and courses.
Our Boats
We have now 2 boats, the Oro Jackson and the Going Merry, both equipped with powerful engines so no time is wasted on our way to the dive sites. With a maximum capacity of 8 divers + 2 instructors or divemasters + 2 crew, you will be comfortably seated. We do 2 dives per outing, with one hour of surface interval in between, during which a free lunch is provided. An oxygen kit and drinking water is available on board.
