The diving

Raja Ampat from south to north. Several days in Misool for soft corals, sea fans and the Balbulol lagoons, then Piaynemo and the Dampier Strait for the seamounts, Cape Kri and the manta cleaning stations. Mantas are regular at Manta Sandy and Manta Ridge, but they are wild animals and never a certainty.

Conditions

November and December are inside the calm season for Raja Ampat. Water 28 to 30C, visibility 15 to 30 metres.

Pearl Fleet asks for Advanced Open Water and at least 50 logged dives. Expect currents, so Nitrox certification and some current experience help.

Every cabin comes with the practical comforts that matter on a long trip: a hair dryer, a safety deposit box, USB charging ports, an inter-room communication system, and dedicated hangers for bath and face towels. Up on the sun deck, loungers and sun beds give you space to dry off and unwind between dives.

  • Lower deck: the diving deck, engine room, and the crew quarters and mess.

Diving

Blue Pearl is built for diving Indonesia, the country regularly rated the finest scuba destination on Earth. She carries three large tenders, each able to take up to 24 divers, so groups reach the sites quickly and comfortably, and a dedicated diving deck and camera station keep the gear side of things easy. All tenders carry full safety equipment, including oxygen, first aid and VHF or satellite communication.
