Nautika Dive Alor

Nearest airport: Alor Island (ARD)

Suggested flights: Wings Air 1942 from Kupang

The sole route to Alor is through Kupang, the capital city of Nusa Tenggara Timur. The flight operated by Wings Air departs in the morning. We would strongly recommend planning your logistics to avoid any afternoon flights as they are regularly rescheduled for the following morning.

Connections to Kupang (KOE): Internationally you will need to connect via Jakarta (CGK) or Bali (DPS)

Here's an easy way to see all the Flight Connections

Nautika staff will greet you upon arrival at Alor island airport and escort you to the resort.

Visa on arrival is available for many countries which costs USD35. However, VoA also tends to attract significant delays with queues etc.

Nomadic Scuba's advise: To get ahead of the game use the online portal and arrange your visa before you leave home.

Suitable for all levels of diver. In the interest of everyone's safety and your enjoyment, the dive staff will always asses your ability as a diver before taking you to a dive site that may be challenging. They will also let you know what to expect of each site, and any currents you may experience.

Nomadic Scuba's Top Tip: Stick with the dive staff's advice, they know the waters very well and have your interests as their number one priority.

The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR).

Most established hotels and restaurants accept major credit cards, smaller, family-run places probably will not. There are banks and ATMs with various maximum withdrawal limits and fees throughout Indonesia, however, Alami Resort is remote and there are no banks or ATMs locally.

Nomadic Scuba Top Tip:

We use WISE for our transactions, and we save hundreds on pointless fees and exchange rates. If you haven't opened an account yet, we strongly urge you to do so (it takes 5 minutes).

March to April & October to November: Water temperature 25º-26ºC (77º-79ºF)

May to September: Water temperature 30º–31ºC (86º-88ºF)

These are averages and can vary slightly. Upwellings also occur at times which brings nutrient-rich water from depth and a drop in temperature. Temperatures can be as low as 20ºC (68ºF) during these events.

We recommend: It's always worth having the right gear with you so, a 5mm wetsuit if you feel the cold, or a 3mm if you are brave. If the water turns out to be super toasty, at least you have all the bases covered.

Guides are provided free of charge, however, guests are reminded that they are responsible for their dive profiles and must stay within the limits of their certification and follow the local rulings of the dive centre.
