Central Raja Ampat is Dampier Strait (which flows between Waigeo and Batanta), where nutrient-rich ocean currents create an incredible underwater environment. Everything that makes for a wonderful dive can be found here. Home to iconic dive sites Cape Kri and Blue Magic, be surrounded by schools of fish and the unique thrill of “fish thunder”—the loud, booming sound made when a large number of fish move rapidly through open water. Further west is the island of Arborek, known for its jetty dive and its cleanliness. Traveling northwest of Dampier Strait are the Penemu Islands, famous for their hard coral gardens and stunning lagoon view.
Our Cruise Director will assist you with all of your departure needs in accordance with your departure flight time. Our crew will assist you with your luggage, and you will be escorted to the airport.
