Raja Ampat

Diving in Raja Ampat is shaped by nutrient-rich currents that support some of the highest marine biodiversity on the planet. Conditions suit intermediate to advanced divers with good buoyancy control, as currents can change quickly, especially in the Dampier Strait. Most dives follow coral gardens, reef slopes, walls, and pinnacles, with opportunities to encounter manta rays, reef sharks, wobbegongs, turtles, schooling trevallies, and tiny pygmy seahorses. Our guides select dive sites daily according to tides, currents, and local conditions.

The itinerary brings together the distinct underwater environments of the Dampier Strait, Penemu, and Misool. Dive sites may include Blue Magic, a submerged pinnacle known for its schooling fish and manta encounters, and Melissa’s Garden, a spectacular shallow hard coral garden near Penemu. In Misool, Magic Mountain, Four Kings, and Boo Windows offer manta cleaning stations, towering pinnacles, and swim-through rock windows framed by colorful soft corals.
