SCUBA DIVING IN KARIMUNJAWA ISLANDS, INDONESIA | Karimunjawa Snorkeling and Diving

In today's video, we did some Scuba Diving in Karimunjawa Islands, Indonesia. Salma Dive Shop is one of the most prominent diving centers on the islands, and they helped us with our diving in Karimunjawa.
Karimunjawa Islands is one of seven Indonesia Marine National Parks, and it is said to have some of the best diving spots in Indonesia. And if you are not a certified diver, Karimunjawa snorkeling is also a popular activity for visitors as well.
Our Karimunjawa diving trip consisted of three dives, all around the western side of the Karimunjawa archipelago: Bird Island and Geleyang Island. Although we didn't see any of our favorite sightings of nudibranch and reef sharks, we were pleased to see the healthy clumps of corals and fish here. Their staghorn corals and table corals are magnificent. We really enjoyed our time
(Bahasa Indonesia)
Kepulauan Karimunjawa adalah gugusan pulau yang terkenal dengan wisata taman laut nya.
Hari ini kami berencana untuk scuba diving di Karimunjawa dengan Salma Diving Center. Selain scuba diving di Karimunjawa, snorkeling di Karimunjawa juga aktivitas yang populer yang ditawarkan oleh Salma Diving Trip.
Terumbu karang di Karimunjawa ini cukup sehat - sayangnya ikan-ikan yang besarnya, termasuk ikan hiu karang, tidak hadir di sini. Banyak juga ikan clownfish, alias Ikan Nemo di sini! Mereka tinggal dan bersimbiosis dengan anemone. Omong-omong, kenapa namanya ikan badut yah?
Ada yang sudah pernah ikutan wisata Karimunjawa? One of the best diving in Indonesia!

Michael and Halef live in Atlanta, GA, but are originally from Canada and Indonesia, respectively. They love to travel and try to do it as much as possible. They saved for a few years and are currently on a long-term round the world trip!

[@GoTravelOnTheCheap]

It is always good to see healthy coral reefs. Man, I miss this! I had a scuba diving accident many years ago so I can't do it anymore. Lunch break without lunch...I wouldn't be happy about that, lol. Interesting that you had to take your shoes off for the grocery store!

[@Thetravelerfromjammu]

That's in my bucket list.I live in mountains but gonna head for sea Soon.Keep up inspiring

[@theRTWguys]

For sure, man. Thanks for watching and inspiring to travel to Jammu and Kashmir :)

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Such pretty footage! You make diving look so fun! I will be following. Hope you can get back to diving soon!

[@theRTWguys]

For sure! We still have a few more experiences after this in Malaysia (Sabah) and that involves two more diving videos from Kota Kinabalu and Sipadan! So stay tuned!!

[@Svenywhere]

Oh man I love diving and this reminds me of my dives in the Philippines. Prices were the same I believe only our lunch break was with lunch. It is good that the coral isn't damaged there yet

[@theRTWguys]

We dove all around Indonesia (and Malaysia), but the Philippines is high on our list to dive! Thanks for watching, Sven!

[@KitatheExplorer]

You got in some nice dives. It always so beautiful to get up close and personal with the reefs and it’s animals. Glad you had a great time!

[@theRTWguys]

Thank you! Yes, we really enjoyed our dive - although we couldn't find any nudibranch or sharks :( Owell. Thanks for watching!

[@DreamyTravelStory]

Awesome diving video guys! All three dives looked amazing! Beautiful corals and so many cute clown fishes. It looks like you really enjoyed it! I (Marion) haven't been diving since 2003 and Giorgio has never done it so I guess when we have the chance we should do it! I always found snorkeling more relaxing but of course you will never see as much as you see when you dive. We really enjoyed watching your video!

[@Christian_Adell]

When Michael advised that clownfish live in anemones, it reminded me of Disney's Finding Nemo and how cute Nemo sounded trying to pronounce "anemone". You guys seemed to have had a blast! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us!

[@theRTWguys]

Hahaha - Finding Nemo remains one of our favorite movies all time, for obvious reasons 😀 Thanks for watching - it was definitely a fun day!

You guys did a fantastic job with this video and we can see you are having a lot of fun, out there in nature. Btw, great commentary as well! Next time you come to Karimunjawa, there is a good chance that you will also spot some Nudibranchs. Sometimes they are so tiny, but there are actually quite lots around in Karimunjawa. Anyway, we like to see more from you guys.... SUBSCRIBED - 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@theRTWguys]

Thank you, Ayu! We are looking forward to going back to Karimunjawa someday, soon! 😃

[@danielyudistira209]

Kapan kapan trip diving di Derawan Juga om sama kyk gitu jg

[@theRTWguys]

Siap, kapan kapan kami kembali lagi ke Indonesia 😀🇮🇩

[@KitatheExplorer]

Aww you saw a Nemo lol!

[@theRTWguys]

There were plenty of Nemos down in Karimunjawa!!

[@WillKupfer]

Have you dived around Flores or Raja Amphut? I plan to do some liveaboards around there when I eventually get to Indo. Seeing this, I really really miss diving. Your ocean life knowledge is so impressive. Which gopro do you use? Really clear footage.

[@theRTWguys]

Yes, and yes - we did Raja Ampat and Komodo live aboard ships, and love it!! We used the Go Pro Hero Black 6, but we also have the housing for our Sony 100 camera for much better quality footage. You will enjoy your diving in Indonesia, Will. Hope all is well and thanks for watching!

[@aatkurniawati1077]

You should try to visit south cianjur. There are many beautiful water fall there. Beautiful beach. Such as : curug citambur, apra beach, sereg beach, jayanti beach. Btw Saya tinggal di Bandung Dan asli cianjur. Hehe

[@theRTWguys]

Kapan kapan yah kita mampir lagi dan bakal ke Cianjur. Dulu sering ke sana buat beli asinan yah?

[@ariefrachman9995]

Wow....salam dri jepara jateng❤️

[@theRTWguys]

Salam untuk Jepara 😀🇮🇩

[@IvanKosenkov]

Had the same problem with my GoPro 6 - buttons don't work below 10 m - you start recording and can't finish it or restart. Seems that the caseless design of 5-8 has some flaws and you need diving case for good performance below several meters.

[@theRTWguys]

We purchased the GoPro case after this dive! We have an underwater case for our Sony, however, we didn't have it with us on this trip (shame). Thanks for watching, Ivan!

[@MrIshom]

Om.. Itu trip brkt pagi jam sabaraha..?? Dpt 3 dive include ama boat kah harga segitu..??

[@theRTWguys]

Iyah semuanya termasuk

[@aftvlog3925]

Try Bunaken in manado Indonesia

[@theRTWguys]

We've dove Bunaken - in fact, we were dive certified in Bunaken 😀

[@frawldog]

[@theRTWguys]

[@dzlfiqar]

Seems some coral is bleaching, maybe because the water is warm?

[@theRTWguys]

It's happening worldwide 😓

[@KingTolentino]

the 70+ dollars is for a private tour? its nice that the place is not that touristy... specially on the islands... unlike gere in philippines, you'll seldom see islands without a crowd... why is there no lunch ..too bad... the dive is good though

[@theRTWguys]

It was a misunderstanding of lunch plan, unfortunately. We were informed that we would have stopped by a small community where we could purchase lunch there, but since they changed the diving site last minute, it was away from that village. That was the only negative side of our experience that day - thanks for watching!! :)

[@swan3714]

i have friend from Canada he says in the ocean in Canada can't do snorkeling

[@theRTWguys]

It is way too cold in Canada 😀🇨🇦
