Jaya guides you throughout the Southern portion of Raja Ampat, the center of coral reef biodiversity worldwide, and the Dampier Strait. With 24 dives and 4 land excursions overall, we highlight the finest Raja Ampat has to offer. At least two-night dives allow us to view the nighttime aquatic life. We go to a magnificent waterfall in Batanta; in Misool, you may swim in one of the few Jellyfish lakes; in central Raja Ampat, we climb the 341 steps to enjoy the amazing view of the Bintang Lagoon at Piennesemo.
We teach you to the variances in dive site topography and how the current influences them beginning at the Dampier Strait. Then we go farther south to Batanta for some muck diving, where you may see vibrant creatures like flamboyant cuttlefish or blue-ringed octopus. Following an overnight trip south, we spend three days diving around the island scatter southeast of Misool. We visit Four Kings, Shadow Reef (Magic Mountain), and Boo Windows among dive locations.
At last, returning over the Dampier Strait, we investigate the reefs surrounding Kri, Mansuar, Arborek, and Gam. Nestled in the center of the Indonesian Throughflow, Raja Ampat channels an enormous volume of Pacific Ocean water from the Indian Ocean back-wise. Millions of eggs and larvae carried by these currents provide the area food and genetic variety. A banquet of all kinds of sea life! The area boasts around 75% of the known hard coral species worldwide, 1400 species of reef fish, 17 kinds of mollusk, 13 marine mammal species, and five of the seven sea turtle species identified worldwide.

It was awesome, thanks again to everyone and a special thanks to Younes who deserves it. He manages very very well. Idea: Movie night would be a perfect after dive activity.
