THE ONLY PROFESSIONAL DIVING OPERATION IN THE MENTAWAI ISLANDS
Over the past few years, the owners of Aloita Resort have been quietly exploring and charting the underwater environment of the island chain. In the resort area alone they have discovered and named 12 world class sites.  One of the highlights is The Cathedral, a site which is a prairie of Fan Corals. There is also Tongga Timur which is the spot with schools of fish in abundance including passing pelagics like Baracuda, Mackerel, etc.

There are still many areas in Indonesia, including the Mentawai Islands in which no one has ever dived before, opening up the possibilities of new discoveries of pristine diving conditions and the sighting of unique marine species. Mentawai is a land filled with rich biodiversity, and a huge range of different natural features. It is the home of Angles fish, huge sea fan, big Tuna and Baracuda.  If you wish to dive unspoiled areas, absolutely no crowd, see many different and abundant marine life - then Mentawai is a destination for you.
