Diving from Meridian Adventure Dive

Raja Ampat is among the planet's best-known destinations for incredible coral reef diving, with the highest levels of biodiversity seen anywhere on Earth. And Meridian Adventure Dive is perfectly positioned to help you explore the region - with over 100 of the park's very best dive sites to explore. Lucky divers might spot turtles, manta rays, different species of sharks, and schooling reef fish by the thousand in addition to Raja Ampat’s signature coral gardens and cool macro critters. 

Meridian Adventure Dive proudly offers PADI courses and guided experiences for all skill and comfort levels, led by a team of skilled instructors and divemasters. Up to four dives are offered each day, with well thought out schedules to help guests experience the most dive sites possible during their stay. You can expect small groups with four divers per guide and plenty of personal attention, both above and below water. Back on land, you'll find world-class facilities with private equipment storage, a comfortable and social dive centre atmosphere, and all that you'll need to care for your camera setup. Or, if you don’t have your own camera, you can receive complimentary GoPro footage of your dives, taken by the guides. Well maintained rental equipment by Aqualung is offered, and this resort boasts some of Raja’s fastest boats!

Conservation

Meridian Adventure Dive is an eco-conscious resort and considers the environmental and socio-economical impact of every aspect of its operation. This starts with resort-wide initiatives, including the use of sustainably sourced reverse-osmosis filtered drinking water and a ban on single-use plastics. Guests are kindly asked to bring their own refillable bottles and in-room toiletries are offered in refillable containers. Other on-site initiatives include sustainably sourced local food and menus that don't compete with other local Wasai businesses. The resort also offers jobs to regional communities where work is scarce. 

Regular beach and mangrove clean-ups are conducted, helping to maintain the pristine natural beauty that made the region famous. Guests are invited to get hands-on and collect any trash that they find throughout their stay and underwater explorations. The resort also asks that visitors use reef-safe products, including insect repellent and sunscreen. 

Raja Ampat is one of the planet's most pristine marine environments, thanks to decades of strict protection. Meridian Adventure Dive supports the park with strict 'no-touch, no-take' policies and environmental briefings before all in-water activities. Their high-speed pontoon boats were designed especially for avoiding reef damage and have lower emissions than traditionally constructed vessels.
