If you’re looking for your next big diving adventure, The Natural Travel Collection has two very special trips lined up, led by two of the dive industry’s best-known names: Simon Rogerson and Saeed Rashid. These itineraries are the perfect mix of world-class diving, great company, and expert insights — whether you’re into critters, coral reefs, or honing your underwater photography skills.
Lembeh & Halmahera with Simon Rogerson
📅 Departs 4 June 2026
💰 18 days from £5,445 including flights from/to UK
Join writer, photographer, and SCUBA magazine editor Simon Rogerson on a truly unique journey through Indonesia’s finest dive spots.
The trip begins in the legendary Lembeh Strait, world-renowned for its muck diving and rare macro life. Here you can expect close encounters with frogfish, flamboyant cuttlefish, seahorses, nudibranchs, pipefish, and more — a treasure trove for photographers and critter enthusiasts alike.
From there, you’ll head north to the vibrant reefs of Halmahera, staying at Sali Bay Resort. While monkeys swing in the treetops and sea eagles soar above, the reefs below are bursting with life: batfish, fusiliers, reef sharks, pygmy seahorses, ghost pipefish, and plenty of surprises. With up to 33 dives across both destinations, this is an adventure that ticks all the boxes — and you’ll likely have these thriving reefs all to yourselves.
