- In this video I sail in in a traditional wooden Phinisi sailing boat across the Banda Sea, Indonesia, in seerch for the elusive Hammerhead sharks.
In some of the most remote islands in Indonesia we travel on the diving Liveaboard boat and visit active volcanos that make up the Ring of Fire.
We continue the journey from the last episode on the journey from Alor to Ambon. We leave teun island in Damar island group. Now we are in the reef atoll of Dusborgh, close to Pulau Nila. Beautiful reef walls that are teeming with schooling fish.
Next we jump in at the remote reef of Nil Desperandum and we catch our first glimpse of the hammerhead shark.
Next in the diving itinerary is the island of Serua. On this reef we find millions of tiny bait fish which bring in the predators including big schools of tuna and jacks and the olive sea snake.
Then we sail overnight to the most remote island in the Banda Sea, Manuk, which means bird island. But they should really call this snake island as it is covered with sea snakes.
The smell of sulphur is strong here, and the reef bubbles with the leaking gases of this active volcanos. This is about the closest I have been to being inside a BBC planet earth documentary.
Snakes hunt in packs, thousands of birds nest on the island and underwater we spot a school of over 30 scalloped hammerhead sharks.
Next we enter the Banda Archipelago, Karang Hatta. Beautiful reef filled with colour and many schooling fish and sharks. Including a huge school of Bumphead parrot fish.
Next we enter Banda Neira and learn about the history of these spice islands where nutmeg was endemic. The Dutch VOC setup a fort on the island and we visit this place.
Next we scuba dive at the island of Suanggi and spot the school of hammerhead sharks once again.
Finally finishing the trip in Ambon.

As some keen eyes have pointed out. It’s not an eagle ray, it’s a mobula ray or a manta ray. I am no David Attenborough, 😅
Mobula Ray and Manta Rays are different species. Mobula Ray also known as Devil Ray
You may not be David Attenborough, but the quality of your videos will be on par with his BBC crew😉 Absolutely amazing video👌🏻
this guy should get more subscriber, this is easily one of the best documentary about what Indonesia has to offer.. the diving experience, the diversity, all looks so great!
Dude, your production values are so high, it's a travesty that you've only got 21k subscribers. Thanks for all your content. Indonesia is a beautiful place, full of wonder and magic, and you're doing a magnificent job of conveying it. Please keep the videos coming! 🤙🤙🤙
After watching these videos i believe Sam is the most luckiest person on earth
I've watched this video 3 times, and from all of your videos that i've been watched, this is best one.
The narration, the visual, the huge set of content that you succesfully compiled into a single video.
Absolutely a national geography level.
thank you for making this vidio sam, you show to us as an indonesian that our country is beyond our imagination. SUBHANALLAH, ALLAH is the GREAT. thank you thank you thank you. u deserved millions followers
Greetings once again from Yogyakarta! Well Sam, that was absolutely fantastic once again. Only complaint..... not long enough... Better than the BBC I'd say.... the videography is brilliant. Well done all concerned.
wonderful indonesia❤❤❤
Anjir, bawah laut banda sea udah kayak film avatar 2 😭 ternyata selama ini kita hidup diatas surga. very amazing video sam, good job. Thank you 🤯
Mencerminkan indonesia sekali bahkan ikan dan uler temenan ngumpul jadi satu wkwkw
Indonesia ...paradise on earth😮❤
(Serpihan surga yg jatuh ke bumi❤).
Terkadang kita kurang bersyukur
Atau tak mampu mengelola apa yg ada (salah PENANGANAN😢😢😢😢😢😢).
Beautiful video, better than the BBC.
Glad you think so!
Indonesia is the best
Those snakes and fishes packs behavior is truly interesting, they were chill about it too! Finally we get to see the waves from underwater and the hammerheads props to you Sam

My jaw dropped the entire time. You couldn't be luckier, Sam. But you've worked so hard to get the luck & you deserve the views and experience. Thank you for making this video. Can't wait to watch some other about my beautiful country, Indonesia.

I'm speechless to see The beauty and richness of the sea in the eastern seas of Indonesia.
great video, i think surely this video will compete with national geograhic.
Great book about Indonesia. Nathaniel's Nutmeg !! Nonfiction 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Completely blown away again Sam, with all the talk of over fishing in the world this gives this old man my kids and their kids may someday experience this stunning part of the world.

☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
Awesome just love that part of the world
Wow amazing view of the deep ocean ✨🐟❤
I am personally amazed by this video. The quality is outstanding, and the cinematography is simply breathtaking. I can truly feel the essence of the place, even though I have never visited it myself.
This video sets a high standard, and I hope it serves as inspiration for the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism to showcase Indonesia to the world in the same magnificent way.
Once again, thank you Sam and your old friend Alex - Logan Wolverine
Wow, thank you! I’m glad that the video made you feel that way as I tried to capture the feelings that you get while visiting these remote islands. It’s like nothing else.
Unfortunately your tourism department never has contacted me. I have tried to reach out to them on multiple occasions but they seem more interested in promoting Bali and supporting influencers with click bait nonesense.
You are amazing mate 👍
Thanks 😁
Amazing video..thanks bro.
So good dude.
Glad you think so!
Amazing quality, what an outstanding level of videography! Keep it up, this stuff is impressive!
Mantab bro.....👍👍👍
Bang sam, that ws amazing vd
I'm traveling the same route in a different liveaboard and it's fascinating to see your updates because they really capture everything I'm experiencing with all the details and finesse possible. Thanks for this amazing content which is helping me consolidate my own memories of this trip without my having to document everything.
That's awesome! I tried to capture the real feeling of diving in the Banda Sea. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever done
I think I'm watching a video like National Geographic or Discovery Channel
Indonesia is the closest thing to Jurassic Park 😊😊
Magnificent production. I'm Australian but live in Indonesia with my Indonesian wife, who is from Maluku Province. You went to many wonderful locations we cherish, and there are many more unknown to the world. Maluku region is the original Spice Islands and steeped in a lot of history. So much to explore both above and below the water...!!
Where in Maluku do you live? It’s a wonderful place and nice people
We have a home in Masohi on Ceram Island. We have a special place in North Ceram called Sawai. The oldest village in North Cerum built on the water with the national park at its back and beautiful coral reefs in its front yard. 😊
Nice. I’ll be there in a few months. To pantai ora area. It looks quite close
Yes it is just a few minutes around the corner. Maybe we can catch up 😊
Looks amazing
Thank you bro for visiting my village, Banda Naira😇🙏🏻🤗🫡
My pleasure 😊 I’ll be back again in a couple of weeks
amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful video Sam! I definitely want to experience such diving. I only just came across your channel and checked out a few videos, but it looks like I'm gonna be busy for the next few weeks catching up. Seems like a lot changed for you since your trip in Moalboal and your introductory flight with me a few years ago. Take care.
Ahhh Yohan, nice to hear from you. And I hope the videos can give you some inspiration. Some areas of Indonesia are like what I imagine the Philippines was like 30 years ago.
My goodness, but I really love this channel😊. The cinematography and the audio quality is top notch.👌🏻 The narration is mature, has a spirit of adventure, but is still calm and collected. 🙌 Sam, you truly package it all so beautifully that it can just as well be a top-performing BBC or National Geographic documentary.📈 We must get those subscribers stats up.💪🏻
Thanks, that means a lot.
Absolutely epic dives! Thank you for posting. Would love to join you on those scuba dives.
Glad you like them! When do you want to go?
Yo thanks to Chris, to shotout this channel, thats great quality content bro!
Amazing! 🤩
thanks for the video sam, awesome👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Can't wait next week to be there ... Thanks for sharing
But two times you spotted eagle ray, they are both for sure Manta Ray
Yes you’re correct. That one slipped through. Whoops
@@IndoWild it happens to me too 😀😀😀 great work
I’m definitely no David Attenborough
Awesome done Sam 👍🏼👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed
I've seen all your videos and i like them alot. But this one is my favorite. Its beautifull and captivating it must take alot effort to make this video. Thanks alot Man youre the best. 🙏🙏
and also the musics they are all perfect ❤❤❤
Thank you very much. Yes I think it probably takes me 100hours to edit one of these underwater videos
@@IndoWild cant wait for the next video
Cheers Sam! Awesome production, story telling and videography. Bandaneira, I hope to return some day to see the hammerheads I missed out on.
Please do! It’s a shame you didn’t see the hammers. I’ve done the trip before and only saw 1. It’s a bit disappointing, one thing I do feel is its best to go early or late in the season. I think a lot of divers and boats scare them off if you go in the mid season.
Wow... amazing bro... berkunjung ke Kalimantan Tengah bro
Mantap mas bule😁👍
Wow! This is amazing. Hope the government not corrupt and able keep this amazing country
Awesome videos! Thanks for taking me there with you really welll told and filmped
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks and welcome to the channel
Wow, what an stunningly beautiful video, everything is just spot on!
Fantastic videography, the right background music and the narrator should become the next David Attenborough!
Thank you for putting this online and showing the beauty of Indonesia, both above and below the sea. 🙏
Thank you very much

Alex seems amazing
I'm a new subscriber, your videos are amazing, especially this video, things that I can only imagine as a dream or an AI video about a school of hammer head sharks, but you saw it in reality instead. What a beautiful memory
Thanks and welcome to the channel
Wow
One word amazing sam
Thank you
Ther 3 islands to south of Banda the names are Teun , Nila and Serua that’s very remote out of all shipping lanes we dive there many times very few people live there in Serua there is a vertical wall drop of in the abyss full of big sharks big tuna spanisch makrel sword fish all hunting it’s kilometers deep there first time coming over the edge it’s overwhelming!!! Bye the way Serua is a very active vulcano only a few people are there so we give them food supplies fishing gear medicine ect in October we go back via Aru island to pick up the boat and sail agian the sea of my ancestors cheers and take care
Wow that sounds an incredible trip to do. How do you dive? With a tank or just snorkelling?
