7 days dive safari in central Raja Ampat

Meeting at the Marina Star Café in Sorong Harbour at 7:30am, where we’ll have a coffee or tea and wait for all our guests to arrive. At 3pm we'll head for check dive at Waisai harbour, near Mioskon Island. Right after we'll sail to Batanta Island.

Early morning start with a freshly brewed coffee or a cup of tea as we gather for the first dive briefing of the day. Meanwhile, our dedicated crew is hard at work in the dive area, ensuring that everything is perfectly prepared for your underwater adventure.

Our dive plan today focuses on encountering majestic Manta Rays and elusive sharks, exploring sites like Dayan, Karang Bata, or Bibis—each chosen based on the tides and current conditions to maximize your experience. Every dive trip is unique, and we take pride in tailoring each outing to match the expectations and desires of our guests. We strive to deliver the encounters you’ve been dreaming of, making every dive an unforgettable experience.

After a three-hour sail, we'll arrive to the Fam island group, with the most renowned dive sites like: My Reef, Melissa’s Garden, Batu Rufus, Barracuda Rock, and the famous Piaynemo viewpoint. These locations are teeming with life, from hunting Giant Trevallies and Rainbow Runners to the delicate Pygmy Seahorses and Hairy Squat Lobsters. You’ll be captivated by the vast fields of Staghorn Coral and the seemingly endless walls that plunge into the depths.

The climb to the Piaynemo viewpoint may appear daunting, but once you reach the top, the breathtaking panoramic view will leave you speechless—a true slice of paradise.

We’ll spend the next two days exploring this area, carefully timing our dives to align with the tides, ensuring we capture the peak moments of marine activity and make the most of the vibrant fish life these sites have to offer.

In the afternoon, after morning dives, we’ll head over to the island of Arborek. Here, we’ll step ashore for a leisurely stroll around the island, and relax on the jetty while the local children delight us with their swimming and diving antics.

For the night dive, we’ll be searching for one of Raja Ampat’s most famous residents—the Walking Shark, also known as the Epaulette Shark. Often found near the jetty, this small shark, measuring about 50 cm, is known for its unique ability to "walk" on land if it becomes stranded due to tides or larger predators. It’s a fascinating encounter that perfectly captures the wonder of diving in these waters.

Short speedboat ride away from Arborek Island we have a couple of dive sites that also function as Manta Ray cleaning stations. One of them is Manta Ridge, the other one Manta Sandy. Depending on the tides and conditions, we’ll choose the best spot to jump in and get close up with these majestic creatures.

Mike’s Point or Batu Lima are our options for another dive before mooring up in the Dampier Strait, which will give us one of the most stunning sunsets you’ll experience in your life.

Raja Ampat offers vast variety of dive sites. Starting from Cape Kri, Sardine Reef and Mike’s Point, but we can also jump on Chicken Reef, Blue Magic or LauLau which are all a short distance from each other.

At the end of the day we’ll hop over to the Island where it all started, Mioskon, to enjoy some beers and a beach barbecue. 

After healthy breakfast we'll gear up for one more dive . It will be either Blue Magic to look for some more Oceanic Manta Rays and Grey Reef Sharks, or the reef of LauLau with its pinnacle.
