Raja Ampat is every diver’s dream, and with good reason.
By special request, we are returning to Raja Ampat and to the New White Manta!
It is a true diver’s paradise, a wonderland lost in time, incredible natural beauty dominates above and below the blue waters; steep jungle covered limestone islands, stunning white sand beaches, hidden lagoons, and dense mangrove forests combine to create over 9.8 million acres of National Park.
Underwater more than 1000 types of reef fish, 540 types of corals, sharks, rays, turtles, dolphins and even whales call the park their home. This is the holy grail of dive destinations, truly one of the most beautiful places in the world!
Raja Ampat is all about diversity - not only diversity of species, but also of dive sites. There are some areas where soft corals and sea fans dominate, others with hard corals, seagrass beds, mangroves, shallow reefs, drop offs, caves, black sand and white sand…and there are more species of fish here than anywhere else in the world.
From pygmy seahorses to top predators, from manta to nudibranch, Raja Ampat has it all! March is the perfect time to dive here with the calmest winds and waters and giant oceanic mantas in season.
