Timor-Leste has some of the bestdive sites in the world due to its location, warm waters, minimalist tourist trade and lack of commercial fishing orheavy industry.[citation needed]
Situated in theCoral Triangle, Timor is surrounded by deep water (about 2,500m betweenLiquiçá andAlor Island,Indonesia) that gives home to coral and fish life, including the annual migration of whales through theOmbai Strait andWetar Strait.[1]
