Carpe Diem: Raja Ampat, 7 nights

We will pick you up at the ferry or your hotel and welcome you on board with drinks. After the safety and boat briefings, we will show you to your cabin and let you settle down and unpack. We will have an afternoon and a night dive in Mioskon.

3 dives. After the 3rd dive, we will go to the viewpoint and explore the lagoon.

In the morning, we will go trekking to a viewpoint. Then we will do 1 dive. In the afternoon, we will explore the lagoon and enjoy some beach time.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Since July 2025 we have been instructed not to go to the most northerly Islands.

First, a little background… In the summer of 2025 there were some reports that mining activity was taken place on some of the islands in North Raja Ampat. Given that Raja Ampat is a unique eco-system, this obviously raised some concerns both domestically and internationally and there was quite a lot of negative press on the subject, so much so that the Indonesian Government revoked 4 of the 5 mining licenses (which were also deemed to have been granted illegally in the first place). This decision has not been welcomed by some of the locals who had been working at these mining sites.

Some of the more militant of these locals have decided to protest this decision by trying to disrupt both Liveaboard operations and the operations of local day trip boats. The Government has stepped in to try and resolve the problem however until the situation has not been properly resolved, we have been instructed not to visit the more Northerly areas of Raja Ampat namely Wayag and Wofo.

We must respect this instruction by the Government as it, like us, prioritises the safety of our guests and crew. Therefore, your itinerary may not include Wayag and Wofo if the situation has not been fully resolved by the time of your trip.

However, the total number of dives will be the same and we will compensate by visiting other amazing dive sites and locations in the area.

4 dives

In the morning, we will go trekking to a viewpoint. Then we will do 1 dive. In the afternoon, we will explore the lagoon and enjoy some beach time.

4 dives

2-morning dives in the afternoon then we will make our way back to Waisai.

We will take you to the ferry or your hotel in the morning.

The last dive will complete on the penultimate day of the trip at around 12 pm. Divers are recommended to wait for 24 hours after their last dive completes before flying. Please note that the itineraries are examples and indicative. We reserve the right to change the itinerary or specific agreed services, if force majeure, unforeseen or unavoidable circumstances, weather, diver ability etc. require us to do so. Similarly, the order of dives etc. may chance depending on circumstances
