Best for intermediate divers, 15-38m, boat entry, mild current.
Shark Cave-Haruku in Ambon, Indonesia, offers a combination of cave and reef topography for intermediate divers. The site ranges in depth from 15 to 38 metres, requiring boat access. Divers navigate an overhead environment within the cave, where natural light diminishes rapidly, necessitating the use of a torch for navigation and gauge monitoring. Visibility fluctuates between 10 and 30 metres, while currents remain mild. Due to the overhead environment, divers must plan gas consumption carefully and maintain sufficient reserves to exit the cave safely. Water temperatures are consistent, ranging from 26C to 30C throughout the year.

Take a torch even if you think you won't need it inside the cave, as natural light drops off quickly once you move away from the entrance. Conditions hold well year-round, so flexibility with your travel dates is less of a concern here than at many other Indonesian sites.
