The Seahorse Liveaboard bids farewell to an adventure full of underwater beauties as the sun sets on this remarkable journey across the hypnotic seas of Raja Ampat. With every dive and every sunrise over our ten-day expedition, the varied marine tapestry of Raja Ampat unveiled its mysteries.
The Seahorse Liveaboard developed an immersive schedule highlighting Raja Ampat’s underwater riches. From the vivid coral gardens of Misool to the barracuda-filled waters of Penemu, every dive location created a different canvas of aquatic life. Underneath the surface, vertical walls covered with soft corals, Platax schools, and the enigmatic appeal of Black Rock produced a symphony of colors and life.
Beyond the depths, our path explored secret lagoons and remote bays to offer a window into Raja Ampat’s unspoiled splendor. Our marine research gained cultural diversity from nights in the secret lagoon, seaside dinners on little islands, and visits to the local pearl farms.
The height of our journey came at Wayag, a maze of quartz islets. Diving at Wayag Ridge, the rock cathedral, and Quoy gave a strange underwater sensation. A climb to a little peak rewarded us with an amazing view of this natural wonder as the day turned into night.
