Day 1: Arrival at Sorong Airport – No dive
Arrive at Sorong airport. Our representative will be waiting outside the arrival hall and ready to escort you to the ship for immediate boarding. Cabin allocation and ship orientation will take place before departure. Take this opportunity to familiarise yourselves with the vessel, make yourself comfortable.

Day 2: Misool (Fiabacet) – 3 day dives + 1 night dives
Whale rock is the westernmost dive area of the Fiabacet chain, arguably the most beautiful tropical reef system on the planet. Especially when viewed from the south, the largest Fiabacet island looks like a caricature of an enormous whale floating at the surface. This is also the best opportunity to observe interesting juvenile fish, nudibranch and other invertebrates. In the Middle of the Fiabacet,

The submerged east point of Nudi rock is undoubtedly one of the top dives in Raja Ampat. Here you can watch colonies of Convict Blennies huddle around sea fans while large Green and Hawksbill Turtles glide through the blue. Myriad species of soft coral and sea fans cascade down the slope and smaller animals like Decorator Crabs and Cleaner Shrimp abound.

Day 3: Misool (Boo) – 3 day dives + 1 night dive
We will spend our day exploring Boo rock and Boo Point east, where we can see large Napoleon Wrasse and Green Turtles . Boo rock is best known for the ‘’windows’’ or rounded openings on the southern end of the largest rock that completely pierce the reef from the surface down to about five metres. Although the two rocks appear separate from the surface, they are connected underwater by a magnificent reef draped in soft corals and brimming with fish.

Day 4: Misool (Farondi) – 3 day dives
To the west side of Farondi we will go through the sea tunnel and then exit on Farondi’s wall. Continue the descent to about 30 metres where the tunnel ends on the wall. There is a cave about 15 metres deep. Explore the wall and floor of the cave for interesting invertebrates like crabs, flatworms and sea spiders.

Day 5: Penemu Island – 3 day dives + 1 night dive + trekking.
Melissa’s Garden, Barracuda Reef, Galaxy, Anita’s Garden. All of these dive sites offer world class diving, fantastic corals and a huge amount of fish. Because the substrate at Melissa’s Garden is exceedingly delicate, absolute attention to good buoyancy is required. Also this is a good chance to trek to one of the most famous view points in the region.

Day 6: Airborek / Manta – 3 day dives + 1 night dive
There is a place called Manta point in the supernal Arborek Dampier straits, where you can dive and be accompanied by several tame manta rays.

Day 7: Mioskon – 3 day dives + 1 night dive
Explore Mios Kon reefs, our campsite island reefs. A slope ranging from 1 – 30 meters with abundant coral growth, these reefs have become home for many different kinds of fish.

Day 8: Kri – 2 day dives
Welcome to Kri Island. Kri is a great start for the cruise with the most fish and coral species accounted for on a single dive site. The reefs in this area are protected by Max Ammer from the Papua Diving Resort. Truly pristine reefs, you will want to dive these sites around this island again and again.

Day 9: Sorong Island – No dive
After breakfast, prepare for disembarkation. Be ready to leave the boat and you will be transferred to Sorong Airport for your next destination. Your diving journey has ended and we shall look forward to welcoming you aboard again.
