Prone to currents, this area is characterized by untouched corals and all kinds of schools of fish. On the surface, green islands and marvelous white sand beaches will surround us.
Day 3: Fam Island
The Fam Island is the definition of paradise. A combination of stunning landscapes, marvelous coral gardens, and exceptionally rich marine biodiversity.
Days 4-5: Misool
So many islands to visit and so many different dive spots. We will cruise around Jiliet, Fiabajet, Walib, Wajil, Jef Pele, Masenta, Boo, etc. The Aurora Crew will assure you as many dives as possible to completely appreciate this wonderful and beautiful area.
Day 6: Pulau Pisang
Seventy miles south of Misool is the beautiful Pisang archipelago, where we’ll dive off the surrounding islands. The corals are extremely healthy in this remote area and are full of life.
Day 7: Momon
Early in the morning, we arrive in West Papua’s Momon Reef, where we will make three dives on this large hard coral seamount, with some of the healthiest fish life in the area. Large schools of Bigeye Trevally, schools of batfish, Napoleon Wrasse, Barracuda, and Giant Trevally reside here. In the afternoon, we will visit the beautiful Kita waterfalls, where a freshwater river runs right straight into the sea!
Day 8: Namatote
The islands of Namatote and Sagin are rich with diverse fish life and beautiful hard and soft corals. These islands are great for macro and pelagic species. Soft coral walls, schools of jacks, barracuda, turtles, wunderpus octopus, and all kinds of critters make it great diving for both wide-angle and macro enthusiasts.
Days 9-11: Triton Bay
This still relatively unknown destination is full of treasures and fast becoming legendary for its beautiful corals filled with small creatures and huge schools of fish and migrating whale sharks. The area has been protected since 2008.
