On the way to #castaway #island #Nailaka. Desert island as if from a Bounty paradise was once the place of final dramatic event of the Spice Trade. Last 14 British sailors were locked here for months without food and fresh water by Durch VOC ships. If you love history, adventures, old ships and are fascinated by 16-17th century financial affairs of British East India Companies: come to Banda Islands to learn more about those very dramatic times and nutmeg trading. We also love the book "Nathaniel's Nutmeg" by Giles Milton. Perfect read while preparing your trip to Bandas.

Today's special: for our turtle-loving volunteers of #2017 ;-) Banda Archipelago is spoiled with number of Hawksbill turtles and even Green ones are a frequent sighting. In certain places we see up to 15-20 turtles per dive! Last year we also discovered turtle eggs on one of the beaches of Hatta island! Join our marine conservation expeditions to see this pristine reef with no other divers and participate in the work that matters! Link to our programs in profile!
