Requirements for Entering Indonesia

Good News! Indonesia is open for business, you no longer require a PCR test before your flight. You can enter the country provided you have proof that you have been vaccinated at least twice, within 14 days of arrival into the country, as well as proof of an ticket out of the country within your permited 30 day stay.

Some immigration agents may ask if you have downloaded the PeduliLindungi app, which we recommend you do, however it is unlikely you will be able to upload your vaccine details here, so this is just to show you made the effort.

E-Visa on Arrival

You are now able to process your Visa on Arrival before you fly to Indonesia, which means avoiding large queues. Simply click on this link and follow the instructions and you will be issued with a QR code which you need to present at the E-Visa Desk on arrival into Jakarta or Bali airports, along with your passport.

End of Season Wrap

By tritonbaydivers|2019-01-12T17:27:38+00:00June 16th, 2016|Miscellaneous|

At the end of May we wrapped up our second season in Triton Bay. It started in late September last year with the biggest El Nino’s ever wrecking havoc on the global climate. Triton Bay saw colder than normal water temperatures to start the season and a long stretch of many months without much rain. We focused on nudibranchs and other critters as they seemed to come out with the colder water, however by February the water had begun to warm and the rains came. Triton Bay did not escape the effects of the El Nino, as in the last month of the season many of the coral in the shallows were bleached. We hope that the changing of the seasons in June and colder water coming in from the south will be timely enough to reverse the bleaching and will know in a few months.

This past season we explored Triton Bay a bit more, found a few more dive sites, and discovered a few new critters, 2 of them being the sailfin anthias and Bulbonaricus pipefish – big thanks to Ned & Anna DeLoach and the crew of the Dewi Nusantara! If you’ve never heard of either of these fish, don’t worry neither have most divers. We even heard that a diver aboard one of the visiting liveaboards saw and photographed a rhinopia, which we believe has never been seen before in Triton Bay. But there is still a lot waiting to be discovered, and we hope to be able to do a bit more exploratory diving with guests who have the time and inclination to do so.

Among the visitors we had the pleasure of hosting were some amazing photographers, with select photos of theirs added to our Guest Galleries. A few visitors were part of the very first exploratory trip to Triton Bay in 2006 and came back to see the place they had such fond memories of. It was amazing to hear their stories of the beginning. We had visitors from the first season who came back to see us after less than a year. We had families with young children and certified a whole family of new Open Water divers! We even hosted Indonesian government officials and generals, including the military commander of West Papua!

On the marketing side, we took part in trade shows in Hong Kong and Deep Indonesia in Jakarta. We were represented at the Boot show in Germany via an agent, and need to give out a special thanks to Connie, a guest from the first season, who helped represent us there. We look forward to hosting all the friends we met at the these trade shows at the resort some time in the not too distant future!

It is June now and we have begun construction of two more bungalows, which should be ready to house new guests by the beginning of next season. Updates as usual will be through FaceBook.

Below is a gallery of some of our favorite photos that were never posted onto either Facebook or the Guest Galleries:

Total Eclipse of the Sun – March 2016

By tritonbaydivers|2019-01-12T17:27:39+00:00August 9th, 2015|Miscellaneous|

On March 9, 2016, a total eclipse of the sun will begin in Indonesia and end in the northern Pacific. The path of the eclipse will pass through the northern parts of the country, with the point of greatest duration located in the Pacific Ocean, east of the Philippines and north of Papua New Guinea.

In Triton Bay, we will get a partial eclipse lasting almost 3 hours, and 80% of the sun’s area will be obscured! We hope you can join us for that week. It will certainly be memorable!

For the exact path of the eclipse, please see the following site prepared by NASA:
