Dive the PINNACLE - AT NIGHT!!!

Dive Timor have finally found a spot to leave their boat in the water over night which means that for the next two months the Pinnacle Night dives are on again!

Departing at 6.15pm on Wednesdays (or by demand) you can have you gear sorted the night before, placed on the boat and waiting for you when you finish work!!!

Experience the sunset over Dili harbour as we glide across clear seas to descend onto what is one of Timor's most magical sight.

Things to expect...Schools of Barracuda, Reef Sharks, Large and small turtles and Timor's largest Moray eel (still to be named!)

Contact DTL on 7237092 to book your spot.

Dive BIG FISH

Its that time of year again that the water is teeming with large pelagics, dolphins and whales. And all the old time Timor divers are requesting to be taken on a day diving to BIG FISH - Atauro Island.

For those that don't know, big fish is one of Timor's best dives for current and a large amount of Big fish - funny enough. Last dive was a week ago with the Abyss Dive shop tour from Sydney Australia. Well it put on a treat with over 2000 barracuda, several large dog tooth tuna, sharks, turtles and mix of other larger than life fishes.

If your interested in diving big fish in the next two months please contact our staff and put your name down. We only take divers that are experienced and that have dived with us before!

Remember to bring your passports as the currents can take you to either Australia, Indonesia or PNG!!!

Dont forget to do your safety stop!!!!

Snorkel Test

Another two Divemasters and time for the snorkel test and party. Technically Hagen didn't complete his Divemaster with us, but he's been working with us for the past month and had never done a snorkel test, so he wasn't going to get away with it!
