The diving

The boat sails overnight from Sorong to southern Misool for three days on its pinnacles, walls and swim-throughs, with a hike to the Love Lake viewpoint. It then crosses to Piaynemo and Fam, with the viewpoint climb, and on to the Dampier Strait around Arborek and Mansuar, including a manta cleaning station. The last dives are at Cape Kri and Blue Magic before the run back to Sorong.

Mantas, sharks and big schools are wild animals and none of them is a certainty. The visit to see young sharks and the Jellyfish Lake swim depend on the season and local conditions.
