Boat logistics and current timing are best handled with a local operator.
Giovannis Point is a boat-access channel dive in North Maluku, typically reached on a short run from Nabucco Spice Island Resort. The site combines a coral garden and a small cave with strong water movement between islands, so it suits divers comfortable with current and changing conditions. Expect an advanced boat dive with reef structure, clear tropical water, and the kind of planning that favors steady finning, good buoyancy, and a skipper who understands the local flow.
