Atauro Island, Timor Leste - Location Guide

3 posts
  1. Last year I went back to Timor Leste after a 4 year gap to spend 10 days diving Atauro Island in the Ombai Strait, about 30kms north of the capital Dili.

    I had some great dives and have finally gotten round to finishing the editing of my images from that trip and putting together a location guide to diving Atauro Island which consists of an overview of the island itself, why the diving is good there, dive sites on the east coast and west coast plus where to stay if you go there.

    Here is the link to the overview page and just follow the links at the bottom of each page, or the top menu bar to go to the other pages.

  2. I enjoyed reading and watching. Amazing visibility. Hope to get there some day.

  3. Hi Bart, thanks for the comments - I really enjoyed both trips to Timor Leste as the coastal sites around dili and to the east and west are good plus Atauro can be really good.

     

    My big dissapointment with Atauro was that I did not see any of the big creatures underwater that migrate past the island - particularly so on the west coast. But I guess that's the ocean for you...
