La P’tite Kepa is back up and running!
25 years after having built the first diving resort in Alor, Cedric has hung up his wetsuit.
Tom and Yle have now joined much of the original Kepa family, and all of us are ready to guide you through the beautiful seas of Alor.
Alor is an hidden paradise for marine biodiversity, with exceptional coral reefs, unique anemones gardens and remarkable muck-diving spots. The variety of underwater geography is wide: some outstanding walls, rock slides, valleys, seamounts, pinnacles, bay… Surrounded by clear water, the visibility can reach more than 40 meters, with an average temperature of 28°C (with peaks down to 25°… 20° in specific spots and conditions).
If a few dive sites are renown for big fish (big eyes jack, dog tooth tunas, giant groupers, Napoleon wrasse, eagle rays or occasional hammerheads and mola-mola …), the real richness of Alor is the amazing biodiversity, including fish, invertebrates, anemonas, hard/soft corals, and the variety of critters, which make it famous for « macro » lovers.
The Dive sites are reachable in 2 to 40 minutes from Kepa. We organize minimum 2 dives per day but a 3d dive (afternoon or night) can be arranged as well depending on current conditions and participants. In addition, shore dives are also possible for qualified divers at tank cost only (5€ ). The dive sites are chosen according to our … 19 years experience (already?!) of the area, to offer you the best conditions to see objects in a safe way. Drift and static dives are possible. Our capacity is from 10 to 12 divers (depending on the month), so Cedric and his team, 2 to 4 dive instructors/guides, will accompany you in small groups (3-4 divers/guide) to show you the jewels of Alor marine life!
