• Pick up at the airport and transfer to the harbor to board the boat.

• 1st dive at Mioskon: as soon as leaving Waisai, we will do a check dive at the nearby island of Mioskon. It offers a relatively easy dive condition with a healthy reef and a variety of fishes. Schools of Yellow Snapper, Napoleon Wrasse, big groupers, and Wobbegong sharks can be found here. Pigmy seahorses and different species of nudibranch can be seen as well.
• 2nd dive at Blue Magic: at this dive site divers regularly see a large number of pelagic species, including reef sharks, manta rays, jacks, barracudas, and tuna. It also frequently offers a chance to see the oceanic manta.
• 3rd dive at Sardine’s Reef: don’t get us wrong, there are no sardines on this site! The name comes from the density of fish that can be found here which is sometimes comparable to a school of sardines: tuna, barracuda, jacks, wrasses, parrotfish bump, and many sharks (gray, white tip, and black carpet). The sea fans here are great spots to see three species of pygmy seahorses (Denise, Bargibanti, and Pontohi).
• Night dive at Batu Lima: Batu Lima or “Five Rocks” is situated at the southwest entrance to Kabui Bay. Marvel at the Fusiliers, Triggerfish, Unicorn Fish, Black Tip Reef Sharks, and hunting Trevallies in the shallows. Finally a swim through in between the tightly packed five rocks, all
  encrusted in a brilliant orange hard coral, and covered in purple and pink soft corals billowing in the swell.

• 1st dive at Cape Kri: holds the world record for the site with the largest number of species referenced in one single dive! The crossroads of different currents at the tip of the island of Kri has created an incredible variety of marine biodiversity – all kinds of sharks, many schools of fish, amazing coral diversity, and specimens for macro fans.
• 2nd dive at Chicken Reef: dotted with large coral bommies (which you could easily spend the majority of your dive exploring) as plenty of critters can be found hiding within the Gorgonian fans, anemones, and soft coral formations.
• 3rd dive at Otdima: expect the unexpected at Otdima, it’s the kind of place where anything could happen. From sharks to eagle rays, mantas, and dolphins, you better keep your eyes peeled on this diverse dive site as you never know what may be passing by.
• Night dive at RADL House Reef: the drifting current of Mansuar’s northern coast has much contributed to the rich life that emerged along the house reef at RADL (Raja Ampat Dive Lodge) where a variety of critters can be spotted during night dive.

• 1st dive at Manta Sandy: one of the most dived sites at northern Raja Ampat to see manta rays. It’s a sandy bottom playground at 20 meters where manta rays, both black and white, love to flock and play during cleaning season. Butterfly fish and numerous cleaner wrasses can thus be seen at this site too.
• 2nd dive at Arborek Jetty: you can encounter huge schools of fish that take shelter beneath the jetty of Arborek village. The large schools of fish spin like a tornado, especially between 3 PM and 6 PM, when there is a fish-feeding frenzy!

The ideal dive on Mayhem involves dropping in along the edge of the pinnacle along the current side and watching the schools of fish parading in the current. As bottom time slips away, then it’s time to swim along the plentiful large bommies leading toward the shallows.
• 2nd dive at Citrus Ridge: The reef is made up of a ridge that slopes down and it is one of the dive sites that are often called aquariums for the vast numbers of marine life that exist here. There are many bommies littered on the sandy bottom. The soft corals are home to literally thousands of glassfish that nest all over the dive site. The sea fans are home to many different types of seahorses including pygmy seahorses. There are also many different types of sweetlips and jawfish.
