On any of our cruises to dive Komodo or Alor the scenery en-route is made all the more spectacular by the volcanoes on view.
As a major part of the "Ring of Fire", Indonesia is a very active geological area with volcanoes from one end of the country to the other that play an integral part in the way of life for millions of Indonesians. Volcanoes are also worshipped as being the home of the gods and places of intense magic. Gunung Agung on Bali and Rinjani on Lombok are given annual offerings to appease the spirits.
