I have had the good fortune to have visited Indonesia several times: Bali and Sulawesi in 2005, Bali and Flores in 2009, and Ambon and Banda Islands in 2018.
Miscellaneous shots from around Bali (2005; boy have digital cameras come a long way).
South Bali (2005 and 2009)-overrated but certainly a good place to party
Heavenly East Bali (2005)-Candidasa, Padangbai, and surroundings
Gunung Agung (2005)-Bali's sacred volcano (which is apparently erupting now in 2018)
Munduk (2009)-possibly the most beautiful spot on Bali (strong words, I realize). Pictures appear weird because they were taken with a disposable film camera on account of having flooded my digital camera on Flores a week or two before (fuck!).
Nusa Lembongan (the next island to the southeast of Bali; 2005 and 2009)-another one of my favorite dive sites, but also where I had an underwater panic attack due to incredibly strong currents. Again, these were the days before I had an underwater camera, but take it from me, if you are near Bali and like to dive, it's a must-do (if you can handle going 10-15 kph underwater).
Kota Ambon, Maluku, Indonesia (topside; 2018)
First dive off Ambon: near Air Manis (April 22, 2018)
2nd Ambon dive: "Rhino City" (4-22-18)
3rd Ambon dive: "Laha-2" (4-22-18)
Banda Islands-topside
Old Dutch Fort-Bandanaira
Gunung Api-where I almost died (totally worth it)
1st dive in the Banda Islands (Maluku, Indonesia): "Tanjung Serrang" (off "Banana Island;" 4-25-18) This was one of the best dives of my life. Please contact me (andersonblairmayfield@gmail.com) for high resolution images.
2nd dive at Banda: "Lava Flow" (4-25-18): one of the top five dives of my entire life (maybe even top 2-3)
3rd dive at Banda: "Lighthouse" dive #1 (4-25-18)
4th dive at Banda: "Lighthouse" dive 2 (night dive; 4-25-18)
5th dive at Banda: "Airport" (4-26-18)
6th dive at Banda: "Lighthouse" round 3 (4-26-18)
7th dive at Banda: Pulau Ai site 1 (4-27-18)
8th dive at Banda: Pulau Ai-site 2 (one of the most gorgeous reefs I've ever seen; 4-27-18)
9th and final dive at Banda: Batu Kapal (4-28-18): apparently a divemaster favorite, but I didn't find it one of the more impressive sites in the area (but we are splitting hairs here)
