HOW TO GET TO ANKERMI/ HAPPY DIVE

With this information you will find us:

ANKERMI/ Happy Dive (Egon Cottage)

29km east of Maumere (on the Trans- Flores Highway to Larantuka) to Watumita village

FROM THE AIRPORT TO OUR RESORT

If you advice us before arrival it is possible to organize a pick up at the airport for you. Otherwise just take a taxi outside the baggage claim area and tell the driver to bring you to Ankermi in Watumita. The taxis cost Rp. 100.000 to Rp. 150.000. Maumere airport has not a very good, friendly reputation as the drivers are shouting around and fighting to get passengers.

If you want to reach us by public bus you have to walk out of the airport or hire an ojek (motorbike taxi) to the Lokaria terminal. From there you can take a village bemo straight to WATUMITA, Ankermi. Most of the local mini bus drivers know us. The ojek is Rp. 3000 to the Lokaria terminal and the bemo (mini bus) to Ankermi's is Rp.5000.

MONEY CHANGING

The exchange rate in Maumere banks (BNI and DANAMON) to US dollars and Euros is not as good as in Bali or Java. There are bank machines (ATM) to get money with your credit card. Cash advances with your credit card at the bank are not possible anymore please be prepared.

WEATHER

Our resort and Dive Center is open all year round. In general there is no problem to dive in the dry season between April until December. November is our hottest month, when winds stop and humidity rises. There is usually a little rain in October and some more in December. The real west monsoon passes through usually in January and February. The waves are too high, the sea too rough so in this time we mostly can’t go out for diving with the boat to the islands.
We have noticed some changes of the weather conditions during the seasons (El Nino, global warming, lots of rain, hardly any rain) and therefore there is no rule without exceptions…
