The catfish are out to play at the Twilight Zone
The Twilight Zone at Laha in Ambon’s superb natural harbor is possibly the mother of all muck diving sites – think Alfred Hitchcock meets the Lembeh Strait…
The site is the general area around the jetty at the village of Laha, on the northwest side of the harbor close to Ambon’s airport.
The jetty can be thought of as the epicenter of about 100m of sloping sandy shoreline around a small sheltered bay, which offers protection for both the ships at anchor and the critters that inhabit the netherworld beneath the surface.
As amazing as the Twilight Zone is, it is just one of 20+ critter sites in Ambon Harbor.
Then there are the great sites on the south coast such as Pintu Kota and Hukurila Cave with there cathedral like chambers and passage ways and beautiful corals.
I spent 10 days diving Ambon in December last year, which was my third trip to the area, and I have finally got round to finishing the editing of all my images and updating the location pages on my site.
If you are interested in the Twilight Zone and the other great spots in Ambon check out the 8 new pages I have completed today.
