Carpe Diem: Raja Ampat and Triton Bay, 9 nights

We will pick you up at the airport or your hotel and welcome you on board with drinks. After the safety and boat briefings, we will show you to your cabin while we pull up the anchor. In the afternoon, we will go to Namatote Island and check with the bagan (local bait fishing boats) if they saw whale sharks this morning.

Very early morning, we will dive under the bagan with whale sharks. In the afternoon, we will dive in the Triton Bay area in the south of Namatote island.

We will dive the 4 of the best dive sites on the north of Aiduma island and the area called “Pintu Arus” (the current door). You will see all the beauty that Triton Bay offers with the gorgeous soft corals of many vibrant colors, critters, and schools of fish.

We will have 3 dives in the south of Aiduma island and Dramai island. The reef is covered with soft and hard corals and you are surrounded by schools of fish. Don’t forget to look under rocks to find wobbegong sharks or epaulette sharks! In the afternoon we will start making our way to Momon.

We will have 2 dives on the beautiful seamount offshore Momon. This seamount is full of life with schools of barracudas, jackfish, bumphead parrotfish, batfish, and many more. You can also observe the graceful oceanic mantas. After the dives, we will take you to the Momon waterfall (or Kiti Kiti waterfall) where the powerful flow coming from an underground river falls directly into the sea. We will then start our way to Pisang island.

This island located between Momon and Misool offers a rich reef with beautiful hard and soft corals and dense marine life. We will do 2 dives before starting our way to Misool.

We will do 3 to 4 dives per day on a selection of the best dive sites in the area covering Boo, Kalig, and Wailbatan islands where you will be able to observe the variety of marine life from huge sea fans and schools of fish to the tiny pigmy seahorse. We will also climb to the Karawapop viewpoint to enjoy the view over the love lagoon.

The last 2 dives of the trip will be in the Balbulol area at the feet of the karst islets. We will then start our way to Sorong. Try to keep your eyes on the sea to get a glimpse of dolphins or whales.

After breakfast, we will take you to the airport or your hotel according to your schedule.

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.
