This 10 night liveaboard itinerary explores the North and South regions of Raja Ampat in Indonesia and is all about diversity - not only diversity of species, but also of dive sites. There are some areas where soft corals and sea fans dominate, others with an amazing range of hard corals, seagrass beds, mangroves, shallow reefs, drop offs, caves, black sand and white sand. Then there are the fish, lots of them, in more shapes and sizes than anywhere else in the world.

​​

Raja Ampat is huge! Covering a total area of around 50,000 sq km, and encompassing hundreds of islands, it offers an astounding diversity of habitats, which translates to wildly different diving experiences.

​

In many places brightly coloured soft corals can be found close to the surface which, with perfect visibility and bright sunlight, create stunningly beautiful dive sites and spectacular photo opportunities. You even get to dive in some habitats that are endemic to Raja Ampat, the most representative of which is the clear water mangroves with corals growing right next to them. 

Not only are there a massive amount of fishes in Raja Ampat, but all the levels of the food chain are well represented, with many species that are endemic to the area. You may encounter anything from pygmy seahorses to top predators; Wobbegong sharks and epaulette sharks are just two of the more unusual creatures can be found in the waters that make up Raja Ampat.​
