Currentline Alor is an independent dive-travel concierge for the Alor and Pantar frontier in East Nusa Tenggara. We do not run boats.

The Bali Premium Trip reservations team curates and confirms your trip with established, licensed Alor operators such as Dive Alor Dive, Nautika Dive Alor and Alami Alor. You get one point of contact and a plan built around real conditions on the ground.

If you are unsure of any detail, message us anyway. Part of the concierge job is helping you work out whether Alor suits your experience level before you commit to anything.

Nothing is charged until you approve a written quotation.

Six details

What to include in your first message

The more you tell us up front, the faster we can shape an honest, workable itinerary. A short message with these essentials is enough to start.

01

Travel dates

Firm dates or a rough window, plus how many nights you have on the ground.

02

Certification level

Agency and level — for example PADI Advanced Open Water. Minimum Open Water is required for fun diving.

03

Logged dives

Your total and your most recent dive date. Operators recommend 50 to 100 logged dives for the Pantar Strait.

04

Trip goals

Gorgonian walls, black-sand macro at Kalabahi Bay, or the September–October pelagic window.

05

Group size

How many divers, and whether you need arrangements for non-diving companions.

Budget band

A rough band lets us match you to the right land-based or liveaboard option instead of guessing.

Quoted, not listed

What will your Alor trip cost to plan?

Alor has no publicly published, citable price list for dive packages, liveaboards or the marine-park fee — only the fact that a permit and fee are required. So we quote in writing instead of publishing a figure.

One honest note

Before you message

Alor's waters are a marine protected area. These non-negotiables are built into every plan we send.

01

Permit and briefing

Every diver attends a mandatory MPA officer briefing, pays the marine park fee and holds a permit before any marine activity.

02

Dive-accident insurance

DAN or equivalent cover is required. The nearest hyperbaric chamber is in Bali, and evacuation plus chamber costs are not covered by standard medical insurance.

03

Book early for the window

Conditions run best April to November. Liveaboards mostly sail a September–October window, so berths fill months ahead.

Straight answers

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Do I book Alor dives directly or through the concierge?

You enquire through Currentline Alor, and the Bali Premium Trip reservations team handles the booking directly on your behalf. We are an independent concierge, so the diving itself is run by licensed Alor operators such as Dive Alor Dive, Nautika Dive Alor or Alami Alor. One contact, vetted partners, and no boats of our own.

02 What certification and dive experience should I send before booking?

Send your agency and certification level, your total logged dives, and your most recent dive date. Alor operators typically require a minimum of PADI Open Water for fun diving, and 50 to 100 logged dives are recommended for comfort in the Pantar Strait's strong currents. Honest numbers let us match you to suitable sites.

03 Is dive-accident insurance required to confirm an Alor trip?

Yes. DAN or equivalent dive-accident insurance is mandatory because the nearest hyperbaric chamber is in Bali, and evacuation or chamber costs are not covered by standard medical insurance. Have your policy details ready when you contact us. We confirm the requirement with your chosen licensed operator before your booking is finalised.

04 When should I contact you to catch the pelagic season?

Reach out early. The best diving conditions run April to November, with October and November bringing the most prevalent currents, and September the best month for mola mola. Liveaboards through Alor–Pantar mostly run a September–October window, so berths fill months ahead. Message us as soon as your dates firm up.

05 Can the concierge arrange the Alor marine-park permit and briefing?

Yes. Alor's waters are a marine protected area, so every diver must attend a mandatory MPA officer briefing, pay a marine-park fee, and hold a permit before any marine activity. Your licensed operator arranges these on the ground; we coordinate the details in advance so nothing delays your first dive.
