Where to stay in Ambon?

3 posts
  1. I'm told there are 2 dive resort in Ambon.  One close to diving and the other is an hour boat ride from diving.  Anyone have suggestions on where to stay for best diving?  I don't care about where I lay my head, but perhaps, would like quiet, safe and secure.

    Thanks,

  2. Check out https://critterjunkies.com/. It is just a dive shop, not a resort. But they feature a couple of accomodation choices on their website.

  3. We just returned from 10 days of diving with Spice Island Divers. The resort is the previous Maluku Divers and is pretty much the same as before with some staff remaining (the chef had pictures of us from 5 years ago on his phone). The bungalows are quite nice, aircon worked fine and hot water was plentiful. The dive shop hasn't changed but there is a new compressor. Overall we thought Ronny and Benny did a good job with the diving crew (a few guides remain, notably Alan and Semuel) and we will be returning there.  Overall I would give them two thumbs up.
