Why dive here
With 163+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue-spotted stingrays, blue whales, seahorses, sperm whales and whale sharks - Wai Terang offers some of Flores's richest diving. Water ranges 28-31°C, warmest May, October, November.
Wai Terang, just off mainland Flores, offers a nice dive on a Japanese World War II freighter. The wreck rests on its side, starting at around 12 metres and descending to 25 metres. We've seen the coral growth here really take hold, transforming the old metal into a lively home for both hard and soft corals. Expect to find a good variety of smaller reef fish darting between the nooks and crannies. It's a relaxed wreck dive, good for those looking for something a bit less intense than some of the region's driftier sites.
