Diving
Few people have noticed that Batam waterways are very much intriguing. Diving in Batam is a new object for tourist to try. Islands, coral, underwater life and wrecks are all part of what Batam’s waters have to offer. It has been estimated that there should be more than 500 wrecks in the region but thus far only a handful have been discovered – a challenge for any underwater explorer.

In Batam View Resort, a diving team, diveRiau, has established their headquarters. They provide visitors an underwater experience of a lifetime. DiveRiau already have their own shop for purchases, testing, service and repairs of diving equipments. The Batam View Resort is located in the Nongsa Coast region, just 10 minutes from the Nongsa Point Ferry Terminal.

DiveRiau conducts fully accredited PADI and IANTD dive training courses and offers the only IANTD enriched oxygen technical diving facility in the area.


Interact with Dolphins
Dolphin Lodge is a Dolphin care centre which also gives a chance for people to interact with dolphins. There are only 5 places in the world which have this kind of facility given to public, so it certainly is a remarkable experience.

You can interact with the dolphins by performing these activities:

* Swim around and having a great fun with the dolphins
* Feeding the dolphins with your own hands
* Listening how the dolphins sing
* Playing hoops and ball games with the dolphins
* Seeing jumping tricks performed by the dolphins
* Perform dance with the dolphins
* Cuddling and caressing the dolphins
* And even having a first kiss with the dolphins

The programme also includes a full briefing on the dolphins and how we should interact with them. Also some information on how the dolphins are looked after in the Dolphin Lodge. The interaction will be supervised by one or two expert dolphin trainers, and visitors will be using a life jacket throughout the programme.

The programme also provides you with a buffet lunch, and after the lunch you may choose to relax at the beach or in a nearby hammock, or you may also continue your wonderful experience accompanied by the dolphins. After lunch you will have a second session with a different pair of dolphins again under the strict supervision of a trainer. A truly amazing experience which only available in five locations around the world.
