Introduction of Indonesia
The wonderful islands and small islets of the country form the major Indonesia Popular Destinations. The pristine and virgin beaches, the long coastline, the amazing beach resorts, the natural beauty of the mountainous landscape, lying by the side of green rice and paddy fields, the rolling green foothills, the volcanoes and hot springs, the lakes and rivers, the wildlife and plantations, its history and culture, its cultural diversity and extraordinary architecture, and ancient monuments all sum up the splendid and enchanting Indonesia Popular Destinations.
The sport of diving in Indonesia is relatively in its infancy, with diving centers in operation for a little over 10 years. Many popular dive locations have already been damaged due to encroachment by man, while new locations are constantly being explored and sought by diving aficionados. There are still many areas in Indonesia in which no one has ever dived before ... opening up the possibilities of new discoveries of pristine diving conditions and the sighting of unique marine species.
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.
