The seas sounding the Indonesian archipelago are considered an integral part of the nation, as evidenced in the term Tanah Air Kita, which literally means our “home water land”. The seas have been a unifying factory between
the
diverse cultures and peoples throughout the archipelago. Many
Indonesians
are greatly dependent for their livelihoods on the bounty of the
seas,
which they have fished and exploited for years. Fish and
shellfish, pearls,
seaweed and shells are only a few of the many treasurers found
in Indonesian
waters.
While traveling through the archipelago in search of
pristine diving
conditions, you will also have a chance to be exposed to
Indonesian rural
culture, far off the beaten track. Take time to see the local
sites wherever
you are, try the local cuisine and check out the local handicrafts.
