Flores
Indonesia · Lesser Sunda Islands
Flores stretches between Bali and Komodo in eastern Indonesia, offering startlingly diverse diving from WWII wreck graveyards in Maumere Bay to pristine dugong meadows in Riung's 17 Islands Marine Park. The region sits within the Coral Triangle and remains far less visited than its famous neighbors, rewarding explorers with extraordinary biodiversity.
