Indonesia
Indonesia is one of the destinations I return to often, part of the 135 countries I’ve covered, from Bali’s villas to the diving of Raja Ampat and Komodo. As a diver, I’ve spent considerable time underwater here, which gives me a strong basis for judging liveaboards, dive resorts, and guiding standards across the archipelago. My hotel and villa reviews are based on stays I’ve personally booked, not sponsored placements alone. This section aims to cover Indonesia’s range, from cultural Java to remote eastern dive sites.
