This video captures the stunning diving we experienced during our two-week stay at the Alami Alor Dive & Snorkel Resort (Sept-Oct 2024) in Alor, Indonesia. Despite the long journey from Toronto (four flights!), Alor's pristine reefs and diverse marine life make it worth the trip.

 

Explore vibrant reefs, encounter unique critters (frogfish, rhinopias, mantis shrimp, and more!), and get a taste of what makes Alor a hidden gem for divers and snorkelers. While we were fortunate to also see Mola Mola, whales, and dolphins during our trip, those sightings are not included in this video. In general, the visibility was excellent and water was warm (around 28°C), though some dives had cooler water (22-24°C).

 

The Alami Alor Dive & Snorkel Resort has comfortable accommodations, excellent management, and professional dive operation.  The camera room is spacious and very well equipped as well.

Thank you for your comment about wide angle.  Regarding footage with dolphins, Mola Mola and whales, unfortunately, they were not good enough to include in the video.

Love that opening scene.  Pleasure to watch.
